In a 60 day public comment period Chief Willson and First Nations Elders urge changes to a caribou management plan. They warn habitat loss and predator shifts from years of development have reduced southern Peace caribou to about 1100, threatening treaty rights to harvest. Public input due by August 9 via caribouplan westmo.org.
