There are five sub-species of caribou in North America—mountain, woodland, barren ground, Central Canada barren ground, and Quebec-Labrador caribou. They range from Alaska and western Canada, and then across eastern Canada including Quebec, Labrador, and Newfoundland.

Today, herds are beginning to show signs of recovery.
