Yukon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan
The Yukon Wolf Conservation and Management Plan (YWCMP) 2012 is part of the Government of Yukon’s ongoing commitment to promote the sustainable use of wildlife resources. It is intended to guide wolf conservation and management throughout Yukon, ensuring that the roles of wolves and their prey species are respected. The Yukon government issued a news release with highlights from the plan.
About the Wolf Conservation Management Plan
The Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board (YFWMB) and the Yukon government agreed in 2010 to jointly conduct a comprehensive review of the original 1992 plan. Over the course of 2011, the YWCMP review committee held 14 community meetings, a workshop with Yukon First Nations, a workshop with wildlife management boards and councils, and a public review of a draft plan.
The committee reviewed 42 written submissions as well as the latest research in wolf and ungulate management. It submitted the Recommended Wolf Conservation and Management Plan to the Environment Minister and YFWMB chair in July 2011. The YFWMB recommended the plan to the Yukon government in December 2011, and it was formally approved in May 2012.
