Subject: re the Beverly caribou herd

To NIRB

      We wish to totally endorse the letters from Allan Jacobs, David Pelly, Alex Hall, George Luste and Bob O’Hara concerning the Beverly Caribou herd.  The herd is in deep trouble and there should be absolutely no more development in the calving grounds of the Beverly herd.

       Our canoe trippers from Camp Wanapitei and Wanapitei Canoe have already noticed the severe decline in the migrating Beverly herds far below what we personally experienced down the Thelon River.

Carol and Bruce Hodgins
