Wildfire in Jasper National Park delays completion of $40M captive caribou breeding center.

A wildfire in Jasper National Park has delayed the completion of a $40 million captive caribou breeding center, which aims to help restore the park's declining caribou population. The fire damaged vital infrastructure and habitat, but Parks Canada expects to finish the project by Christmas, albeit with some delays. Restoration efforts are underway, and the program is viewed as a pioneering conservation initiative that could significantly benefit caribou recovery efforts.
