Caribou Project

Mentasta Caribou Research

AITRC, in partnership with the Cheesh’na Tribal Council, received funding from USFWS through the Tribal Wildlife Grant (TWG) to bolster WRST's already established Mentasta Caribou Herd Monitoring Program. AITRC and Cheesh'na Tribal Council will contribute GPS collars, flight time, and equipment (ultrasound and thermal cameras) in 2024 and 2025. In addition, AITRC will analyze samples from historic and upcoming captured caribou to conduct nutritional analysis and elemental and disease testing, an expansion of the Moose Health initiative. AITRC will transition to researching calving and recruitment rates in spring/summer 2025.
