The Conference of Management Authorities (CMA) is inviting the NWT residents to comment on two proposed listings and a proposed recovery strategy under the NWT’s Species at Risk Act.
Dolphin and Union caribou have been proposed for up-listing on the NWT List of Species at Risk while currently listed as a species of Special Concern after being reassessed as Endangered in April 2023.
The second species up for listing on the list is the American white pelican after being assessed as a Special Concern in April of the same year.
According to the CMA, the Peary caribou is listed as a Threatened species in the NWT; however, the federal recovery strategy will be implemented to aid long-term conservation efforts.
The CMA says all NWT residents are invited to submit comments regarding the new proposals by sending an email to [email protected] or taking CMA surveys here.
