Excerpt from Leaflet:

"As far back as 13,000 years ago, when Man probably first set foot in Alaska, caribou herds were fluctuating in numbers. Little has changed and caribou herds during recent times have or are undergoing dramatic changes in population sizes. The Fortymile herd is no exception. Oldtimers have seen the herd become one of Alaska's largest and then decline to a mere remnant of its former size. This report will briefly summarize the past and present status of the Fortymile herd and speculate on its future."
