Subject: Uravan Garry Lake Project, NIRB File 08EN037

To the NIRB:
I am writing to urge you to deny Uravan Mineral's application for mineral development (of uranium) on the calving grounds of the Beverly Caribou Herd. I had two precious opportunities to visit the Northwest Territories and spend time at a camp on Whitefish Lake a few years ago. The unique and fragile landscape and all the plants and animals living there deserve our care and protection for their own sake as well as ours  -  all people and animals.
Climate change is a big enough threat without people adding to the problems by purposely disturbing vulnerable populations.
thank you for your attention to this issue.
