Abstract: The Ka’a’gee Tu First Nation, with support from the Deh Gah Gotie, West Point, K’atl’odeechee and Dehcho First Nations, Northwest Territory Métis Nation, the Federal and Territorial governments and non governmental organizations are collaborating to advance the Ka’a’gee Tu Candidate Protected Area (CPA) through the Northwest Territories Protected Areas Strategy (PAS). This process is used to identify and protect areas with special ecological and cultural values, implemented through a cooperative approach. As part of Step 5 of this process, the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS, Environment Canada) along with the Ka’a’gee Tu Working Group oversee the ecological assessment of the Ka’a’gee Tu CPA, which requires a detailed inventory of the area’s key ecological components. This information is required to determine wildlife species richness, abundance and distribution to ensure that the CPA captures the full range of successional stages, wildlife habitat, and rare and At Risk species in the candidate area. This information also forms the baseline for the area’s future ecological monitoring and management planning.
