RE:RE:RE:Big caribou-booDon't get me wrong. Caribou are magnificent creatures, and they deserve to be taken into consideration. But this has little if anything to do with caribou.
Besides, caribou aren't dumb. I would venture to say they are smarter than a lot of humans (like maybe the ones on the review board, for instance). There is a lot of empty land out there and they will adapt to the situation. In fact, there are ways to mitigate the impact of the project so that they actually come out in far better circumstances than if gold had never been discovered on "their" land.
That is a common practice in disputes of this nature and although the tactics are belated, underhanded, and unfair to Sabina, hopefully that is all that is needed to get back on track.
Unless, of course, the people who are presently throwing their weight around are complete NIRBs.
