In October 2010, we conducted a collaborative survey to estimate the composition and size of the Chisana caribou herd. Partner agencies included Yukon Department of Environment, Alaska Department of Fish & Game, and US National Park Service (Wrangell-St. Elias National Park). The survey was conducted to assess the status of the herd 4 years following the captive rearing project undertaken on the herd, and to provide information set out in the Management Plan for the Chisana caribou herd to determine if harvest of the herd may be resumed.
