Parks Branch Yukon Protected Areas Strategy
The Government of Yukon put the Yukon Protected Areas Strategy (YPAS) on hold in early 2003. The YPAS process identifies and designates protected areas in each of the unrepresented ecoregions in the Yukon.
Scientific and technical assessment work within the ecoregions will continue. This work is in direct support of existing Special Management Areas arising from Yukon First Nation Final Agreements and existing protected areas. The work allows informed decisions to be made about sensitive areas and supports the resource assessment process. These assessments will provide important information for any future protected areas initiatives.
