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.

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.
