How a caribou population went from the brink of extinction in the 1950s to the largest herd in the world in the late 1980s - and whether it can survive today's environmental changes.
A.T. Bergerud is former chief biologist of Newfoundland. He has been a population ecologist involved in research on caribou populations in North America since 1955. Stuart N. Luttich, a provincial biologist in Labrador, monitored the caribou herd from 1974 to 1993. Lodewijk Camps studied the George River caribou herd from 1988 to 1992.
"Bergerud et al have gifted us with an intimate gaze on a natural wonder of the world ... If you wish to learn about the caribou, read this book. The book is mammoth, an opus magnum, chock full of data and insight into the lives of the iconic wanderer of the north. It is a rare type of work." John McCarthy, The Canadian Field-Naturalist "The Return of Caribou to Ungava should be read by everyone with even a passing interest in northern ecology, caribou management, or predator-prey relationships. It should be read by historians, anthropologists, and archaeologists." Charles E. Kay, Utah State University
