NGO link so some salt is needed for seasoning but here's what they have to say

>‘Death by a thousand clearcuts’: Canada’s deep-snow caribou are vanishing
>The B.C. government spends millions on extreme measures — like wolf culls and maternity pens — to support these mountain-loving herds found nowhere else in the world. Yet such efforts fail to offset the habitat destruction at the root of their disappearance
>Over the past 15 years, a calamity has befallen B.C.’s deep-snow caribou — a caribou ecotype found nowhere else in the world. In 2005, B.C. had 18 deep-snow caribou herds. Today, only ten remain. All are on the cusp of local extinction. Nine deep-snow caribou herds once lived to the south of the Columbia North herd. Eight are gone. Only about two dozen animals remain in the ninth herd, an amalgamation of two herds. Bucking the dispiriting trend, and following costly interventions such as shooting wolves, in 2022 the Columbia North population grew by almost two dozen, to 209 animals.

They're not very abundant over here in Finland either. According to the European Climate, Infrastructure and Environment Executive Agency, only about 3,000 wild forest reindeers remain in Finland, and 5,000 in Finland and Russia together. We have an active reindeer herding industry which means we don't hunt them but idk how well the wild reindeer population is going to do in the future. At least there are active conservation efforts being made globally, so that's comforting to know at least.
