Fawn River Indigenous Protected Area Ecological Atlas

The Fawn River Indigenous Protected Area Ecological Atlas, published by the Wildlife Conservation Society Canada (WCS Canada), provides critical insights into the ecology and conservation challenges of Nahanni National Park. This comprehensive study integrates field research on wildlife behavior and ecosystem dynamics to address key threats facing vulnerable species such as grizzly bears, lynx, wolverines, and woodland caribou. By collaborating with Indigenous communities, regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders, WCS Canada applies its findings to design protected areas, restore ecosystems, and implement community-led conservation strategies. The atlas reflects the organization's legacy of over a century in global conservation, offering actionable solutions for large-scale landscape management and species recovery.
