Yes it is considered to be endangered, and has been a protected species since it was included in the Endangered Species Act of 1983. There has been some talk of removing the caribou from the list, but thus far, it has not happened.

Yes, Caribou are indeed an endangered species. After being hunted for their hide, the population of caribou has decreased from 2 million in the 1900's to 1 million today. Urban growth also has an effect on the caribou population as it is threatening their habitat and food sources.
