Prerequisite: Available as soon as you reach Techiix.
Talk to the biologist outside of Techiix (near the sniper that will give you the “White Death” sidequest) to get this task started. You’ll be asked to find and track down the poachers hunting down the angarans’ valued yevara.
There will be two locations that will be marked in the map. You only need to check out the marked location in the frozen lake to the far northeast, south of a forward station and near the shielded base (part of the Remove the Heart sidequest). Once there, check out the empty crate in the middle of the structure to find a datapad. Examine it to update your mission objective and mark the location of the poacher camp to the southeast.
Once you found the camp, make the preparations then raid it. Defeat all hostiles outside then fight your way inside the cavern.
Follow the icy tunnels inside the cavern. Don’t worry since the path is very straightforward and will lead to the central location where you’ll find an angaran researcher named Dr. Leekaret. You’ll then get the chance to side with the biologist in preserving the yevara and tell the doctor to stop or take the researcher’s side since his study may aid the angara in their fight against the kett by letting him continue his research. Fortunately, the reward is the same for either choice and there’s no adverse effect so choose whatever you prefer to complete this mission.
