SPECIES AT RISK: Designated as "central interior", the Cariboo Chilcotin Region includes to the east and north the Cariboo Mountains (home to our endangered Mountain Caribou herds) including the world famous Bowron Lake Provincial Park. In the south, the dry grasslands of the Junction Sheep Range Provincial Park and Churn Creek Protected Area house many species at risk, and to the west, Tweedsmuir Provincial Park is abundant in wildlife, including BC's blue-ranked Grizzly Bear and the red-listed (in the Itcha Range only) Common Pika.
Keep pets under control, they may otherwise chase or injure wildlife or cattle.
Keep it CLEAN! Take out your garbage. If others haven't, take it out too.
REPORT any abuse of the environment and its wildlife to the nearest conservation officer. Record vehicle license numbers if you are able.
Respect wildlife and their habitat
Stress is harmful to animals. Keep your distance. Respect their den sites and nesting areas.
Wild animals may be dangerous if they feel threatened or have young. ALWAYS KEEP YOUR DISTANCE.
Leave young animals, the mother is probably nearby.
Nesting birds are very sensitive to disturbances. Some birds molt (lose their flight feathers) after nesting. They must grow new feathers before they can fly.
Roosting and hibernating bats are very sensitive to being disturbed.
Grasslands are fragile. Long-lasting damage occurs when they are driven on. Drive only on designated roads.
Noxious weeds cause irreversible damage to natural grasslands, always stay on designated roads and report any sightings of noxious weeds to the local Parks office.
