After the death of a pregnant moose on the Lillooet River Forest Service Road near Pemberton, B.C., the local wildlife association has called on the province to take action to protect vulnerable wildlife in the area from increased vehicle traffic. He didn't have exact details on what had happened to the moose and didn't provide a date. "It's very unfortunate to lose a moose from such a small population," said McEwan, noting that it's a critical winter range for the animal. "The moose are already under a great deal of stress just from the weather," said McEwan. "If the road is left in its natural state ... then we feel that the moose will have a better chance to get through the winter."
