Commentary from Seth Kantner: When it comes to safeguarding Alaska’s wildlife and land, we can’t afford mistakes
It makes no sense to expect outsiders to care for caribou if we at home are not doing that. Sport hunters from far away? Billionaire mining company CEOs from other countries? Biologists? Why should they care if we don’t?
I reasoned that — being human — hunters would naturally place more value on each individual animal if we were allowed, say, 25 instead of 1,825. I thought lowering the bag limit might also help the Department of Fish and Game avoid future embarrassment — if anyone noticed that the total harvest limit far exceeds the entire Western Alaska Caribou Herd population.
I went back to cussing and blaming. I had bouts of giving up on the system. Later, though, I saw that, like most things in life, this was an opportunity to learn.
