“The Ambler Road is a proposed 211-mile road that would cut the eastern part of caribou habitat in half and connect our region with the rest of the state's and country's road system. Caribou will start detecting the noise of the road from miles away.”

From the transcript
So this past fall, it was not this past fall, but this is written later, it was first time that I had no caribou. This combined with the declining caribou population, it is a big challenge we see at Sasoliki and around the Northwest Arctic today. With the discussions about Ambler Road, I'm looking at it from a view of the caribou. The Ambler Road is a proposed 211-mile road that would cut the eastern part of caribou habitat in half and connect our region with the rest of the state's and country's road system. Caribou will start detecting the noise of the road from miles away.
