Best estimates put the Porcupine Caribou herd’s current population at 90,000 to 100,000 animals, indicating a continued slow decline from 178,000 caribou in 1989. This herd ranges close to eight communities in five aboriginal land claim areas in two territories in Canada, as well as ranging into Alaska. The Harvest Management Plan coordinates management actions in Canada for this herd and allows for proactive, responsible management and use of the herd. The Plan has been agreed to and signed off by all eight Parties responsible for the herd’s management. The GRRB will be assisting Parties to the Plan in implementing management actions and will be continuing to collect harvest information through community interviews. The herd is currently in the Yellow Zone, indicating that the management actions supported by all parties are to Hunt Bulls Only, and Report All Harvests.

A Grizzly Bear Management
Plan for the GSA has been developed by the GRRB, RRCs and DRWED.
The finished plan provides a framework for the management of
grizzly bears, protection of grizzly habitat and the protection
of Gwich'in harvesting rights. The best way to manage grizzly bears
is to make a plan so that everyone can agree on what needs to be
done and who is doing it.
The GRRB, RRCs and DRWED have finished a Moose Management Plan which will act as a framework for the management of moose,
protection of moose habitat and the protection of Gwich'in harvesting
rights. The Plan was completed in December 2000.
