Mountain Caribou
is an ecotype of the more widespread Woodland Caribou.
These caribou are distinguished by their
behavior of migrating upslope in winter to feed on lichens that hang
from trees in areas of deep snow in the Columbia Mountains.
Because of their declining numbers, these
animals are regarded as a threatened species by both the federal and
provincial governments.

 The following is a list of sources of
information regarding mountain caribou compiled by the Revelstoke
Caribou Recovery Committee. This is a committee appointed by the City
of Revelstoke to provide assistance to governments and agencies tasked
with recovering caribou populations.
Committee members live in the region and
represent the range of social, environmental and economic values
important to the community.
