The richness and variety of the wildlife in Nunavik is in a class by itself.  This is especially true in the Leaf River valley, which marks the boundary between the northern forest and the Arctic tundra. For example, both the black bear and the polar bear are found there.  The lynx, the marten, the porcupine and the beaver are at the northern limit of their range, while the arctic fox, the arctic wolf, the musk ox, the ptarmigan and the barren-ground caribou are there as well.

This richness of the Nunavik wildlife offers unparalled opportunities for photography as well as hunting.

There are two distinct herds of caribou in Nunavik. The Leaf River Herd and the George’s River herd.  It is estimated that Nunavik holds over 800,000 head of caribou. These offer ample hunting opportunities without any risk to their population.
