all
the
way
from

three
natural

the
Torngat

Coast.
Like
other
Nunavik

Kuururjuaq
National
Park
is
developed
and
managed
by
the
Inuit.
The
flora
and
fauna

mammal,
24

of
land
mammal
and
a

several
species

marine
animal,

salmon.
Within
the
valley,
there
are
red
and
Arctic
foxes,
spruce
grouse,
willow
ptarmigan
and
black

polar
bears.
Caribou

the
main
attraction
of
the
park.
There
are
two
herds:
the
George
River

There
is
also
a
relatively
diverse
