The Caribou in Minnesota

Caribou are a type of deer that are native to North America. They are found in cold, northern climates, and they are well-adapted to living in snowy and icy conditions. Caribou are an important part of the ecosystem in Minnesota, and they play a vital role in the food chain.

In the early 1900s, there were an estimated 10,000 caribou in Minnesota. However, due to habitat loss, hunting, and other factors, the caribou population declined dramatically. By the 1970s, there were only an estimated 200 caribou left in the state.

Colleen Charles's Work

Colleen Charles began working to save the caribou in Minnesota in the early 1980s. She started by raising awareness about the plight of these animals and lobbying for their protection. She also worked to protect caribou habitat and to reduce hunting pressure.

One of Charles's most significant accomplishments was the establishment of the Voyageurs National Park in 1975. The park is a critical habitat for the caribou, and it has helped to protect them from hunting and other threats.

Thanks to Charles's efforts, the caribou population in Minnesota has begun to rebound. In 2021, there were an estimated 3,000 caribou in the state. This is a significant increase from the 200 caribou that were left in the 1970s.
