Wildlife Biologist's Hair Sample Method Ruled Illegal
Description
Wildlife biologist Doug Heards appeal over his caribou study methods was denied, as his hair sample collection technique was deemed illegal hunting under provincial law. The Environmental Appeal Board upheld the ruling, citing the Wildlife Acts broad definition of hunting. Heard, who has been working to restore a threatened caribou herd, can reapply for permits but is now required to adhere to truly hands-off science in sensitive habitats.
