Three environmental groups have sued the federal government for allegedly failing to map out critical habitat for B.C.’s threatened caribou. The request for judicial review was filed in the Vancouver Federal Court Monday, Feb. 9 by Wildsight, Stand.earth and Wilderness Committee. …Southern mountain caribou were listed under SARA in 2003. The legislation requires Ottawa to identify what critical habitat a species needs, so it can implement a plan for it to survive and recover. …After a previous round of litigation in 2014, Ottawa said it would finish by the end of the year. More than a decade later, that still hasn’t happened. …By delaying 11 years, the three groups claim Ottawa’s unlawful and unreasonable failure to produce the maps has caused further harm to the threatened caribou herds. …Fully protecting southern mountain caribou could involve curbing logging activity in large swaths of B.C.—something that has worried the province’s forest industry.
