Boreal caribou were listed as threatened under the federal Species at Risk Act (SARA) in 2003 and in the Northwest Territories (NWT) under the Species at Risk (NWT) Act in 2014; they were reassessed in NWT as threatened in 2022. When a species is listed as threatened, it means it is likely to become endangered in the NWT if nothing is done to reverse the factors leading to its decline.
