The population of caribou within the reserve is one of the most threatened in Quebec, due to a variety of factors, such as its size, fragmentation, isolation and predation by the wolf. Although the reserve itself has an area of 434.19 km 2 (167.64 sq mi), the habitat used by the caribou extends to between 1,200 km 2 (460 sq mi) and 2,000 km 2 ...
The George River caribou are one of four subpopulations of Labrador caribou in northern Canada. The herd's range extends through Labrador and Northern Quebec (Labrador Woodland Caribou Recovery Team, 2004). [34]: 18 The George River caribou and the Leaf River caribou, R. t. caboti, migrate between forest and tundra. [29] [35]
The migratory woodland caribou refers to two herds of Rangifer tarandus (known as caribou in North America) that are included in the migratory woodland ecotype of the subspecies Rangifer tarandus caribou or woodland caribou [1] [2] that live in Nunavik, Quebec, and Labrador: the Leaf River caribou herd (LRCH) [3] [4] and the George River caribou herd (GRCH) south of Ungava Bay.

The Chipewyan Sayisi Dene were caribou hunters also, but they stayed inland year-round. Because of waning caribou populations during extended periods, including the 18th century, the Dene moved away from the area, and the Kivallirmiut began to live inland year-round harvesting enough caribou to get through winters without reliance on coastal ...
It is unlike most woodland caribou in that it is not sedentary. The dramatic decline in numbers of the George River herd has raised concerns. [15] [16] [b] In the 1980s there were between 700,000 and 800,000 in the herd caribou migrating between northern Quebec and Labrador. By 2010 there were 74,000.
Parc national de la Gaspésie borders the reserve to the west and the free territory borders the reserve to the east where part of the reserve is inside the park.
