I can't speak for the Canada side, but I've been through calving grounds during calving season, and no Caribou were dying. Due to the strong State Regulations and Regulators, there were travel restrictions imposed and equipment operating restrictions. These appeared to work in the area I actually saw. There are many caribou herds throughout Alaska and I'm not aware of any of them being threatened. They are all monitored and some if not the majority are hunted.

There are Gwichin on the US side of the border with concerns as to migratory changes that may occur. Their culture is alive and well. They have a political voice and they use it.

Thanks for your concern.
