Protected Areas: Improve coordination among conservation, land use planning and development agencies to increase efficient use of resources and reduce the burden on community capacity. Sustainable Forests: Continue to update forest legislation and harmonize with all applicable legislation,including land claim legislation, to develop better tools for the sustainable use of forests in the NWT. Sustainable Use of Terrestrial and Aquatic Species Increase our monitoring of harvest rates to include all types of harvesters and fishers in all regions of the NWT.Climate Change: Increase studies on impacts and adaptations to climate change. Invasive Alien Species: Evaluate the potential threats of invasive alien species to NWT ecosystems. Include surveys and questionnaires to industry or groups that have the greatest capacity to contribute to potential solutions.
