Message: [QUOTE="Conrad13, post: 1886566, member: 3186"] "On calving grounds, caribou were deflected by pipeline berms greater than 1.5m above ground level because berms presumably served as visual barriers (Hanson 1981)" "Cow caribou distribution shifted away from pipelines, roads and associated traffic during calving (Cameron & Whitten 1979; Dau & Cameron 1986; Lawhead 1988; Cameron, Reed et al. 1992) even though vehicular traffic on the study area road was limited (100 200 vehicles/day) (Cameron, Reed et al. 1992)" "Most(77-85%)caribou avoided expenmental pipeline structures on the calving ground in summer (Child 1973)." You can make the foreign oil argument all you want, but I had a hard time concluding that caribou like pipelines. [/QUOTE]
