Summary
Description
Caribou were extirpated from the Kenai Peninsula by 1912 and reintroduced via transplants from the Nelchina Herd in the mid 1960s and again in the mid 1980s. The reintroductions resulted in the establishment of five herds: the Kenai Mountain Herd, Kenai Lowlands Herd, Killey River Herd, Fox River Herd and the Twin Lake Herd. Populations are increasing or stable for all but the Kenai Lowlands Herd.
