Parks Canada praised for buyout of two businesses in Jasper National Park's Tonquin Valley, a scenic destination also used by vanishing caribou herds.

"That's a good step forward," said Carolyn Campbell of the Alberta Wilderness Association."It's really positive to reduce recreation pressures year-round for caribou."

The businesses had operated for many years and were part of a long tradition of horsepacking into some of the most beautiful and accessible backcountry in the Rockies. Campbell said the two lodges were on habitat used by caribou for calving, rearing and rutting, and added to the pressures the animals were facing from predators.
