Our Impact

overview

Yukon's Biodiversity - We work to protect Yukon's fish and wildlife from threats including climate change and habitat destruction. We support humane, sustainable and responsible harvesting.

Yukon's Energy Future - We advocate for the replacement of imported fossil fuels with local, low-impact renewable energy sources for thriving, resilient communities.

Yukon's Mining Industry - In the future we envision, mining in the Yukon occurs only in places where such activities are ecologically and culturally acceptable.

Land Use Planning - Land use planning is a collaborative way that the Yukon people can use social, environmental, economic and cultural information and knowledge to collectively determine what and how land should be protected, developed and managed in the territory.

Get Outside - We offer free, fun interpretive programming for all ages throughout the summer at Whitehorse parks, to help people deepen their relationship with nature.
