Speed kills two caribou on Kootenay Pass – small herd suffers big loss
Wildsight asks MOT to reduce speeds along one short section where caribou congregate
CRESTON: Two endangered mountain caribou — a pregnant female and a calf — were killed last week on a notorious section of Highway 3, where the animals often congregate to lick highway salt. The two were part of the remaining South Selkirks herd, which has between 40 and 50 animals. So far this year three animals have been lost on Highway 3. Ministry of Environment staff indicated the unreported collision was caused by an SUV, traveling uphill — an entirely avoidable collision.
