The report contains many recommendations to improve NWT’s actions on biodiversity over the next ten years. Some of the most important recommendations for each core theme are described here. Species at Risk: Continue to work, primarily through the co-management system, towards management and recovery planning, involving all NWT groups interested in species at risk in the NWT. 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...

The article focuses on the Airborne Geophysical/Geological Mineral Inventory (AGGMI) program of the Division of Geological & Geophysical Surveys (DGGS) of the Alaska Department of Natural Resources in the Moran area. The work reportedly involves geological mapping of the area to encourage renewed exploration for mineral deposits. The project is expected to assist in balancing resource and infrastructure development with land-management strategies.

Subsurface temperature profiles measured in boreholes are one of the important archives of paleoclimate data for reconstructing the climate of the past 2000 years. Subsurface temperatures are a function of past ground surface temperatures (GST), however GSTs are influenced both by changes in land-use and changes in regional climate. Thus the history of deforestation at borehole sampling locations represents a potential uncertainty in the reconstructed temperature history at the site. Here a fully coupled Earth system model is used estimate the magnitude of the subsurface temperature anomaly from deforestation events from a global perspective. The model simulations suggest that warming of the ground surface is the...

Recent interest in sustainable forest management planning in the Yukon has coincided with growing public awareness of climate change, providing an opportunity to explore how forestry plans are incorporating climate change. In this paper, the Strategic Forest Management Plans for the Champagne and Aishihik First Nations Traditional Territory (CATT) and the Teslin Tlingit Traditional Territory (TTTT) are examined for evidence of adaptation to climate change. For each plan, management policies and practices that are also recognized as ways to adapt to climate change are identified to provide information on the incremental costs and benefits of additional adaptation efforts. A typology for classifying sustainable forest...

Protected areas are instrumental in preserving the ecological and geographical diversity that define our nation. Park managers face a challenge in protecting natural ecosystems while at the same time providing recreational opportunities. To mitigate negative impacts from visitor use managers are beginning to rely more heavily on direct strategies that restrict or limit human use. Coupled with the pressure to limit human use, there is a greater requirement for park managers to base management decisions on science and public input. This study aimed to determine the direct management techniques that are being implemented in backcountry areas of Western Canadian protected areas. The goals of my research were to determine...

This dissertation identifies a reduction which is currently occurring in the role of the earth sciences in the planning, management and interpretation of the national parks of Canada. Through the analysis of the Canadian National Parks Act, National Park Policies, Systems Plan and the Natural Resource and Visitor Activity Management Processes, as well as information on experience in the United States, New Zealand and other countries, it is shown that there is and has been a role for the earth sciences in the planning, management and interpretation of the parks. Case studies of ten management plans from nine parks indicated that the natural resource management functions at individual national parks rarely identified...
