We advocate for the territory’s most valuable resource: our abundant wild spaces. We recognize that nature is deeply connected to us and anything that impacts the environment directly affect us as people. We also recognize our responsibility as an environmental organization to advocate for wildlife and their habitats, and that those lands and waters are also the Traditional Territories of Yukon First Nations, the Inuvialuit, and transboundary First Nations in British Columbia, Northwest Territories, and Alaska. We are based on the traditional territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation and the Ta’an Kwäch’än Council in Whitehorse.
