Request site-specific baseline abundance data for furbearers and black bears within the specific overlapping management units (Trapline DR024, Bear Management Area IG-09A-040) identified in the submission.
Strategic Rationale
"The Proponent characterizes the site as 'disturbed by tree harvesting' with 'minimal important features.' However, the submission also notes overlaps with active commercial Traplines and Bear Management Areas. To verify the claim that the environment is of low value, the Proponent must provide current, site-specific biological data rather than relying on the assumption that past forestry activity negates current habitat value. This ensures that the Environmental Impact Statement is built on actual wildlife presence, protecting the integrity of the local ecosystem."
