Denali wolf protection. A few years ago at the Alaska Board of Game meeting, the Feds were asking the BOG to re-enact the wolf buffer zone along the eastern park boundary. They showed a map with the location of all the wolf packs. All but one pack was on the eastern border of the Park. What was obvious was that there were no packs in the interior of the park. Why do you think that is? Answer! Because there was nothing to eat there. So the wolves were on the eastern park boundary because there was something to eat. Because there was State management. And when there was a buffer zone across the Parks Highway, we saw sheep and caribou populations plummet because of wolf predation back around 1990's. The caribou herd went from 14,000 to 2500 in 2 winters in GMU 20 A with the wolf buffer zone adjacent to Denali Park. The Denali Park Caribou Herd wiped out.  Thanks to Fed management there is little game in the park.  A buffer zone will only increase the size of the biological desert.
