That's a good question.
The answer is that caribou is an umbrella species. We're talking a lot about caribou today, but for us, protecting caribou also involves protecting other species. There are other endangered species on the Nitassinan. There are the Bicknell's thrush and the Barrow's goldeneye, for example. These species are linked to the same type of forest as the caribou. That doesn't include other species whose status we don't yet know.
So the forest lands that remain in our area, which Chief Dufour was talking about, are very important to biodiversity on our Nitassinan.
