  • The Comeback Trail 2008
    The Comeback Trail News of the Fortymile Caribou Herd Division of Wildlife Conservation, Alaska Department of Fish and Game September, 2008 The Plan For The Future - 2006-2012 In 2005 and 2006 Advisory Committees from Central, Delta Junction, Eagle, Fairbanks and Upper Tanana/ Fortymile worked together with members of the Alaska Eastern Interior Regional Advisory Council (EIRAC), the Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board, Yukon Department of Environment and the T’rondëk Hwëchîn First Nation to develop a new Harvest Plan for the Fortymile Caribou Herd for 2006-2012. Alaska Department of Fish and Game, Divisions of Wildlife Conservation and Subsistence, the Bureau of Land Management, the Tetlin National Wildlife Refuge and the National Park Service provided technical support for this effort. The plan was endorsed by the Alaska Board of Game (BOG) and Federal Subsistence Board during their spring 2006 meetings and has guided harvest management of the herd since the fall 2006 hunting season. How It All Got Started Efforts to rebuild the Fortymile Herd began in 1995, with the development of the Fortymile Caribou Herd Management Plan. This plan guided harvest from 1995-2000 and provided for a conservative harvest of 150 bulls annually. The primary goal of this Plan was herd growth. In 1999, with the herd increasing in size and the Management Plan soon to expire, several state fi sh and game advisory committees began a cooperative effort to develop a new Harvest Plan for the herd. The 2001-2006 Fortymile Herd Harvest Plan was developed to provide for additional harvest opportunity, while retaining the primary goal of herd growth.

  • Caribou (Rangijèr Tarandus) and Human Developments A.T
    ARCTIC VOL, 37, NO. 1 (MARCH 1984) P. 7-22 The Buffalo of the North: Caribou (Rangijèr tarandus) and Human Developments A.T. BERGERUDI, R.D. JAKIMCHUKZ,and D.R. CARRUTHERS ABSTRACT. The demography, movement, and behaviour patterns of eight caribou populations (Kaminuriak, Nelchina, Central Arctic, Fortymile, Porcupine, British Columbia, Newfoundland, and Sndhetta) exposed to industrialactivities or transportation corridors are reviewed. Eehaviour pat- terns of caribou encountering transportation corridors are explainable in terms of adaptive responses to natural environmental features. There is no evidence thatdisturbance activities or habitat alteration have affectedproductivity. Transportation corridors have adversely affected caribou numbers by facilitating access by hunters. There are no examples where physical features of corridors or associated disturbances have affected numbers or productivity. Caribou apparently have a high degree of resilience to human disturbance, and seasonal movement patterns and extent of range oc- cupancy appear to be a function of population size rather than of extrinsic disturbance. The carrying capacity of the habitat is based on the space caribou need to interact successfully with their natural predators. Caribou must not be prevented from crossing transportation corridors by the con- struction of physical barriers, by firing lines created by hunting activity along a corridor, or by intense harassment - a loss in usable space will ultimately result in reduced abundance. Key words: caribou (Rangifer farandus),disturbance, wolves, predation, overharvest, access RÉSUMÉ. L’article examine les donntes ayant trait à la dtmographie, aux dtplacements et au comportement de huit populations de caribous (Kaminuriak, Nelchina, Arctique central, Fortymile, Porcupine, Colombie-Britannique, Terre-Neuve et Sndhetta) exposh aux activitts in- dustrielles et aux corridors de transport.

  • 2 Background and Setting
    Interior Alaska Transportation Plan November 2010 2 Background and Setting 2.1 Regional Setting The Interior Alaska planning area encompasses approximately 132,200 square miles or 20 percent of the state. If the Interior Alaska planning area were a state, it would rank as the fifth largest state in the Union falling between New Mexico and Montana in size. It contains one State forest, 15 State recreation areas, three national parks/preserves and three national wildlife refuges. Two highway international border crossings as well as 54 percent of Alaska’s National Highway System roads are within the study area. The study area includes all of the Fairbanks North Star Borough, and portions of the Matanuska-Susitna (Mat-Su) Borough and Denali Borough; however, 83 percent of the study area is outside an organized borough. The study area is made up of 41% federal land, including Bureau of Land Management, Fish and Wildlife Service, and National Park Service land; and 38% state land, including state-owned and state- selected land1. Nearly all the remaining land is Native owned, with less than 1 percent held by private individuals. Figure 1 shows land ownership distribution for the study area. 2.2 Communities There are approximately 50 communities in the study area that range in population from fewer than a dozen to over 31,000 (Fairbanks). All but twelve of the communities in the study area have access to the contiguous highway system. Three of the communities are governed as Home Rule Cities (Fairbanks, Nenana, and North Pole), four are second class cities (Anderson, Eagle, Fort Yukon, and Delta Jct.), and one is a first class city (Tanana).
