CARMA 10 is coming 2026!

Well yes – CARMA’s web site has been quiet but CARMA is still on-going and is planning to meet at the 2026 North American Caribou Workshop June 15-19, 2026 in Yellowknife, NWT.

Explore caribou herds

Use CARMA's interactive map to learn more about circumpolar Rangifer herds.

Caribou News

Internationally – how is CARMA contributing?

CARMA relied on its population monitoring and climate database to contribute to:
1) NOAA’s 2024 Arctic Report Card
2) working with WWF to assess the vulnerability of migratory tundra caribou to climate change based on optimistic and pessimistic climate model projections to 2050 and 2100, and
3) summarized the relationships between vital rates and climate a cross a number of North American Herds.

We will be posting these three reports on this site in the near future
