  In the late 1980's oil development spread into more heavily Calving areas. The Central Artic numbers have fallen from 23,400 in 1992 to 18,100 in 1995. Also the Biologist Don Russell says he " can accept that oil development is the cause of the Central Arctic Herds decline

Caribou arrival is a major event that sends hunters scurrying into the hills.They also want to drill in the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. People are convinced that drilling will harm the caribou.

Sometimes they chop holes trhough 3 to 5 feet of ice.
