2,800+ wolves killed, nearly $10 million spent and 15 caribou herds still at risk: Why scientists say British Columbia is targeting the wrong problem

• Since 2015, British Columbia has killed 200-300 wolves annually to help endangered caribou populations recover.
• Recently, the provincial government has proposed extending its decade-long wolf cull program by five more years in areas that are home to 15 declining woodland caribou herds.
• But according to scientists, the deforestation, not the wolves, is the main driver of caribou declines.
