Billion Dollar Caribou - Nature of things

Everyone has seen a woodland caribou on a quarter but very few of us have actually ever seen one in the wild. They're known as the grey ghosts of the boreal forest. They move around in small groups and are notoriously hard to find. It's even more difficult since their numbers are declining across the country, especially in Alberta, where prime caribou habitat also happens to have prime lumber resources and oil and gas deposits.

The Nature of Things is hosted by the world-renowned geneticist and environmentalist, David Suzuki, the program is in its 55th season, a landmark by any standard
