April 7th. Members of ABCSnow and the BCSF met with Mps and MLAs to discuss the Caribou recovery strategy.
We had a great meeting! To say that "politicians" do not hear us is an inaccurate statement.
Minister Steven Thomson, Minister Coralee Oaks, Minister Bill Bennet, Minister Shirley Bond, MLA Jackie Tegart, MLA Donna Barnett (who is amazing awesome fantastic and sooooooo one of us!!! )
Pierre Dion, led the talks, clearly bringing to light not only our concerns but our suggestions for the recovery project. We fully believe a new management structure needs to be implemented. Biologists, (herd specialists) need to become a stakeholder in the project rather than the point of power, dictating every move. We are an ally and a valuable asset to this process. We believe that based upon our past history of active participation and compliance, we have clearly demonstrated our willingness for this project to succeed. We are Not impactful, nor are we a contributing factor for the declining populations. We'll have a full briefing in a bit. Here are some pictures. More to come.
I must stress how fantastic these MPs and MLA's are. We are fortunate to have allies who truly want to work with us.
