The Arctic Ungulate Conference (AUC) is an international conference held every four years. It focuses on research, monitoring, and management activities involving caribou, reindeer, musk ox, moose, and other hoofed mammals.
Yellowknife will host the next AUC in August 2011. The theme of the conference – Challenges of Managing Northern Ungulates – will address the difficulties of managing ungulate populations that are faced with the unpredictable effects of climate change and an ever-increasing human presence on the land. The conference will also focus on the challenges associated with developing recovery actions for declining caribou and reindeer populations that are an integral part of Aboriginal cultures and ways of life.
This conference will provide an excellent opportunity for biologists, managers, Aboriginal groups, co-management boards, researchers, students and resource users to discuss northern ungulate research and management with their circumpolar peers.
