Regional wildlife biologist Mark Heckbert holds a radio collar that was once around the neck of a bull woodland caribou of the Slave Lake herd. In his other hand is the antenna that picked up the signal. Likely killed by wolves or a bear, the caribou was one of a herd of fewer than 100 animals that survive in the muskeg areas east of Slave Lake. Their status is about to come even more into the spotlight due to discussions about a new resource bypass road from Hwy. 88 to the Mitsue Industrial Park, which Heckbert says he has serious concerns about. The collar was found a few hundred metres east of junction of Hwy. 88 and the Marten Hills Road - ideal caribou habitat, Heckbert says.
