COVER PHOTO : Endangered Southern Mountain caribou are brought into a maternal pen to have their calves in safety and raise them to at least 6 weeks old–a period when calves are quite vulnerable to predators–before release. Two related papers in this issue explore the combined impact of conservation actions. As highlighted in McNay et al. (Article 2580; doi: 10.1002/eap.2580 ), Indigenous‐led conservation efforts have successfully averted the extirpation of these caribou through maternal penning and wolf reductions, tripling the abundance of caribou in less than a decade. Lamb et al. (Article 2581; doi: 10.1002/eap.2581 ) illustrate how habitat restoration and protection will help these caribou grow rapidly and one day support a culturally meaningful hunt.
