## Resource

Federal regulators just slammed the brakes on caribou cow hunting in northwestern Alaska, banning it outright and restricting hunts to local residents only — a bold move to save the shrinking Western Arctic Caribou Herd. With numbers plummeting and bulls becoming less viable later in the season, the decision targets the most critical part of the herd while prioritizing subsistence needs. Non-local hunters are now shut out in key areas, even though some data shows minimal impact — the board says it’s a necessary sacrifice to protect both the caribou and the communities that depend on them. More restrictions loom, with bull limits still on hold until February 2027 — but next year’s meeting could bring even tougher rules.
