“The current erosion of biodiversity is happening at a frightening rate. We are talking about several million individuals dying in a multitude of species around the globe over the last few years, the last few decades, and in almost all cases there are close links with human activity on the planet.”

In association with Long Point and Kitcisakik, the First Nation of Lac Simon wants to ensure that the territory is once again conducive to maintaining a viable population of woodland caribou south of Val-d’Or by putting in place the most appropriate measures, based on a mix of ancestral traditional knowledge and the most up-to-date scientific knowledge.
