The most shameful case of failure to act to recovery is perhaps the one of the Lake Superior coastal caribou pictured in the article; among the easiest to observe or photograph in the past, these woodland caribou have a high educational value. They are also among the majority declining populations in Canada. Pukaskwa National Park did not act on reintroduction plans and the caribou are no longer there. And the anchor islands (the Slate Islands, Pic and Michipicoten islands in Lake Superior) that were once inaccessible to wolves now have routine wolf visits with anthropogenic origins for their visits. The Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources trapped the wolves from Michipicoten Island, but not to relocate them, just to study them while they killed and ate most of the caribou. I'd call that mismanagement.
