About the Board

The Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board (the Board) was created under Chapter 16 of the Umbrella Final Agreement (the UFA), which serves as the overarching template for land claims agreements made for, by, and between all Yukon people.

Section 16.7.1 of the UFA empowers the Board to be “… the primary instrument of Fish and Wildlife Management in the Yukon.”

The Board is comprised of 12 members: 6 nominated by Yukon First Nations and 6 by the Government of Yukon.

Be mindful and cautious while driving - especially in the Southern Lakes region as caribou are on the move. Yukon wide - there have been many reports of moose being hit as well. Be alert, slow down around corners and adjust drive times! Help keep our Yukon wildlife thriving and yourself and other drivers safe!!
