A male wolverine is seen on a hill in the Helena-Lewis and Clark of western Montana in this 2021 photo. Wildlife conservation groups are raising the alarm over the Alberta government's decision to lift trapping and harvesting limits on wolverines.
Wolverines are considered threatened species in Ontario, but in Alberta, they are considered as "data deficit." "Under the new framework, trappers will register their harvests, and their logbooks will provide accurate, real-time data on furbearer populations in each area, ensuring that we have the information needed to make informed decisions," said Alexandru Cioban.
Luo says the minister has also expanded the species that can be hunted under a special license, such as Mountain Goats, and has expanded seasons and locations for hunting. "It's not my spirit animal or anything," he said. "I just think it's important that the remaining amount of wildlife out there and this just seems to go against that."The Shopping Trends team is independent of the journalists at CTV News.
