It's a complex problem, but I think that it is possible to reconcile promotion of traditional first nations use and protection of the woodland caribou, even though protecting the species is extremely complex. With good collaboration, we can reconcile forestry production—for much less than it currently costs to supply mills—with the pursuit of nature conservation goals and the promotion of first nations participation in their socioeconomic development through their contribution to forestry activities.
It's very complex and requires a lot of collaboration. On the ground, it's hard, but I believe it's possible. We need lots of good will to keep the dialogue going between all of the parties, including first nations, environmental groups and the industry. I think it's possible to reconcile the pursuit of these different goals with integrated and economical approaches to managing our resource for the development of society as a whole.
