2007-08-006-C5 - Kluane First Nation Wildlife Monitor
Summary
During the project year the following activities were completed:
· Field work on the ground – seasonal
· Aircraft survey with Parks Canada – Sheep – Sheep Mountain to Congdon Creek to Boulder Creek (June 2007)
· On and Off Road Patrols – records of sightings and activities
· Training – Parks – the only training component would be the aircraft survey and they would teach the proper way of spotting for animals
· Conduct Harvest Questionnaires – there is reported harvest on the patrol form summary and we have some questionnaires that were filled out by the hunters that requested permission to hunt in KFN’s Traditional Territory
· Ride Along Component – Parks – the only opportunity was the Aircraft survey
· Investigate Reports of harvesting within the corridor – this is done when the Wildlife Monitor is out on patrol.
The activities contributed to our goals and objectives by allowing us to gather data while patrolling the land to help us in our future management regime and provide us with information and harvest data to share with the Dan Keyi Renewable Resource Council, Parks Canada and YTG – Department of Environment Office in Haines Junction. The Wildlife Monitor position is very important to the First Nation because it gives us the presence on the land .The Lands, Resources and Heritage Department staff are not on the land all the time due to our busy schedules.
