WMAC (North Slope)

Born out of the Inuvialuit Final Agreement, we conserve and protect wildlife, habitat and traditional Inuvialuit use within the Yukon North Slope.

There's a new study by the USGS, the USFWS and @yukongov. It found the Porcupine caribou herd’s need for the 1002 lands in ANWR will only increase over the coming years. This means proposed oil and gas development will impact the future of this herd. https://t.co/OqKCjCrOGb

Muskox researcher, Laurence Carter, will be in Aklavik tonight meeting with the Aklavik HTC to provide them with an update on her work so far and to get input on a 2019 field season on the Yukon North Slope! If you see her around town, say hello :)

So this is what omingmak eat for breakfast! Muskox research on the Yukon North Slope brings together community members, researchers, and governments - collaboration ftw! Much of this work stems from community questions... https://t.co/zyH79r7Fma

It's #HeritageDay here in the #Yukon, which means it's a great time to reflect on the incredible history of the Yukon North Slope. Here, #Qikiqtaruk Ranger, Richard Gordon, shares some of the Herschel Island story!... https://t.co/OWUW49v43j

DID YOU KNOW...Less caribou means less harvest. Oil and gas development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will likely cause a decline in the Porcupine Caribou Herd. This will impact First Nation and Inuvialuit... https://t.co/tadmO8TyN0

DID YOU KNOW...Oil and gas development in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge will likely cause a decline in the Porcupine Caribou herd. The science says so. Find out more at https://t.co/agYdzNHV4N

The draft EIS for oil and gas leasing in #ANWR falls (very) short when it comes to evidence-based conclusions. This new vulnerability analysis for #PorcupineCaribou uses decades of data to assess potential effects of development to the herd https://t.co/w1krU37UDt

While the Environmental Impact Statement process for oil and gas leasing in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge continues, we do have a little bit of good news: the seismic program that was planned... https://t.co/Tx927z3EYc

A little bit of #caribou science to start off your week!

The bones and antlers of caribou that used the calving ground in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge over many generations can tell us lots.
