According to Survival International the world's largest reindeer population has plummeted up to 92% in the last few decades. George River herd which used to have 900,000 reindeers now stands at 74,000. Local people are blaming the spread of massive industrial projects in the area.
Survival International’s Director Stephen Corry said, ‘If we really do care about the real impact the natural world has on us and vice-versa – rather than just watching it on television – it’s time to start listening to tribal peoples. They know what they’re talking about. For the Innu, reindeer aren’t just for Christmas.’
