Recent surveys have shown an alarming decrease in the numbers of caribou in the 
Beverly herd.  An unprecedented decrease of 98% means that this is surely no 
time to approve industrial/commercial activities right in the herd's calving 
grounds.
The figures are so sufficiently extreme that they are hard to believe as being 
complete or accurate.  These figures need to be verified in a more complete and 
broad cencus as quickly as possible, so that we can get a clearer picture of the 
real situation, and use those figures to determine future actions.
In the meantime, it is imperative that we put a moratorium on any activity in 
those critical calving grounds.  The future of one of Canada's and indeed the 
world's most remarkable species should not be compromised for short term gain.
Thank you for your consideration, 
…Dave
