I seriously doubt the author was anywhere NEAR where the actual drilling would take place. His comment, "Oil drilling, if it happened, would not occur throughout the 19.5-million-acre refuge (about as big as South Carolina), but in a 1.5-million-acre coastal strip. The Gwich'in depend for sustenance on the Porcupine herd's 120,000 caribou, which calve in the coastal area.

You doubt he was there? How can you possibly make such a statment without a map and coordinates?

I understand the Gwich'in fears, but my guess is that the caribou would do fine with drilling." is so far off base its LAUGHABLE if it wasnt such a serious subject. Its not roughly 10% but actually way under 1/2 of 1% that would be effected in any way. jdn

You guess? Sorry if your guessing doesn't reassure me.
