wild herds and wild ecosystems can break down when man steps into them to harvest resources.

That makes sense in theory and perhaps in practice elsewhere (certainly in the past, we invaded and destroyed with no thought to the consequences) but someone posted that Caribou population in ANWR has increased since 78. It doesn't seem to have forced them out of the environment.

While the proposed new drilling is apparently in an area that might force the caribou to shift their calving fields to a less healthy place, the solution offered is directional drilling coming in from an angle so as not to displace those calving fields. As long as the experts in biology and the environment work hand in hand with the policymakers to avoid destruction, then isn't that the best solution for extreme positions to find common ground?
