oil industry offer building natural zoos as a solution for decimating caribou habitat! Its a zoo, a huge zoo, a natural zoo...

Instead, Albertas reckless industrial development in caribou habitat was to be blamed for the near-decimation of one of Canadas most iconic species. The caribou famously adorns the Canadian quarter... One contentious option already on the table is the construction of massive caribou pens, designed to act as a wildlife refuge for the struggling species. The idea of a caribou pen, hatched in part by the Oil Sands Leadership Initiative, an industry group, is present in the federal caribou recovery strategy, mentioned as a possibility for “indirect predator management.”
