Caribou Resource Brief
Joly K and National Park Service. 2010. Caribou Resource Brief. National Park Service. Fairbanks, AK
Our goals are to monitor the movements, distribution and health of the Western Arctic Caribou Herd. The caribou use different Park units at different times of year. Further, the timing and spatial pattern of the herd’s migration plays a critical role in the harvest of caribou by rural villages. Changes to these patterns may affect these subsistence users. Herd productivity and health will be monitored using a variety of different indices.
