About the reports
These reports are designed to:
- Describe the current state of our knowledge about all wild species in the NWT
- Prioritize species that need more detailed assessment and may need protection in the future
- Educate and increase public awareness of species that need special attention and of possibilities for involvement in monitoring activities throughout the NWT
- Help guide wildlife management agencies, co-management boards, impact assessment agencies, industry, governments, and all northerners when making decisions related to wild species in the NWT
- Provide a tool for exchanging information about the status ranks of wild species in Canada and in the circumpolar world
