Members of the Nunavut Impact Review Board,

 

I am writing to you today to urge you to deny Uravan Mineral's application for mineral development of uranium on the calving grounds of the Beverly Caribou Herd. 

 

To do otherwise is to knowingly accept the decline of a species – to irreversibly tamper with the intrinsic web of life – and in doing so say to the world and the people who depend on these animals, that they and our natural world, are less important to the future of our planet than the mining industry.

 

Too much of our natural world has been decimated. The power to preserve an area of the last great wilderness and the wildlife that depend on it lies in your hands. Please use that power wisely.

 

One voice,

Michelle Bower
