ONTARIO — Blake Moynes, a television personality and passionate wildlife conservationist, has teamed up with the David Suzuki Foundation to address the alarming habitat loss impacting caribou populations in northern Ontario. …Through this partnership, Moynes is focused on bringing attention to the dire state of northern Ontario’s caribou, stressing the urgent need for action to preserve their shrinking habitat. “To keep it as simple as possible? Caribou populations are significantly declining right now due to habitat destruction, due to forestry, mining, and the exploitation of resources that’s essentially been mismanaged here in Canada. So caribou are declining, fading away here in Ontario, but in other places in Canada as well,” Moynes added. Moynes and the David Suzuki Foundation point to habitat destruction and the creation of logging roads as major contributors to the decline in caribou numbers, which have disrupted natural predator-prey dynamics.
