This two-page summary of research shows the impacts of caribou declines on several communities, mostly Gwich'in in northern NWT. Overall, half of the people surveyed said that their household needs for caribou were not met. That figure was as high as 88% for Gwich'in in Inuvik. The main reason for needs being unmet was a lack of caribou availability (numbers too small, or too far away).
