Subject: Bevely caribou herd/Uravan Mineral mine application

To whom it may concern.  I was on the Clarke Thelon river this year and was disappointed in the dismal wildlife viewing .  I had expected to find many caribou on this 24 day trip but in fact saw only two individual caribou   This was most troubling and in fact the fewest we have seen in over 10 barrenlands trips.

The huge decline in numbers as per the latest census must put this herd on the endangered list.  Please do not allow this uranium mine to proceed as it is right in the middle of the calving grounds and is sure to have a negative impact..  Please preserve this herd for future generations.

Sincerely  

Ted Kilpatrick,
