Overview
 

Function

The Ts’udé Nilįné Tuyeta Management Board was established in 2020 to assist the K’asho Got’ı̨nę and the Government of Northwest Territories in the planning, operation, and management of Ts’udé Nilįné Tuyeta, a protected area.

The purpose of the Management Board is to support the K’asho Got’ı̨nę and the Government of Northwest Territories by providing recommendations on:

• Developing a management plan
• Protection and enjoyment of Ts’udé Nilįné Tuyeta.
• Research and monitoring activities.
• Visitor use, registration, and education.
• Permits
• Protection of cultural continuity.
• Infrastructure development.

The Board’s recommendations are made by consensus.

Non-representative Role

Board members and alternates do not represent the appointing government but instead advocate for the interests of the protected area. Members are expected to maintain an independent, objective perspective on matters affecting Ts’udé Nilįné Tuyeta.
