We divided the research of migratory
species into 3 general categories: land, water and air. To access research,

Bird species
The 1002 region
serves as a stopover region, breeding zone, and molting area
for over 180 migratory birds. Among the most prevalent
species are the snow goose and the long-tailed duck. Most
bird species visit the north slope during late August to mid-September.
Land Species
In
the tug of war between oil production and wilderness preservation,
research on land migratory species in the 1002 region
of the Arctic national Wildlife reserve and the possible
remifications that extraction of oil would have is key to understanding
the environmental impact that oil would have. The porcupine
caribou herd, musk oxen, polar bears and central caribou herd
are some of the main land migratory species who come to the
Coastal Plane of the 1002 region to either breed or calve.
