For generations, caribou have been at the heart of Inuit life. But in recent years, new infrastructure in the Canadian Arctic has started to block their migratory paths — and threaten a way of life that has lasted for millennia.
In this episode of This Is Wild, we’ll learn all about how caribou herds navigate the vast tundra, and how Inuit communities are working to protect the animals they rely on. From Inuit knowledge passed down through generations to the modern pressures of industry, we’ll uncover the delicate balance between people, animals and a rapidly changing landscape.
