Government of the Northwest Territories. The Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) position on listing was formed through review of the species status report and assessment and engagement with Indigenous governments and Indigenous organizations, as well as the public. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (ENR) also worked with other GNWT departments through the Inter-departmental Species at Risk Committee. Public Engagement The GNWT provided an opportunity for members of the public and interested organizations to comment on the assessment and potential listing of northern mountain caribou. The comment period was July 31-November 6, 2020. The GNWT invited comments using print ads, posters, the NWT Species at Risk website and an email distribution list. The GNWT received five comments on the listing of northern mountain caribou through this process. Four supported listing as a species of Special Concern and one was against listing. The comments were considered in forming the GNWT’s position on listing. Indigenous Governments and Organizations The GNWT’s assessment is that the action of listing northern mountain caribou as a species of Special Concern will not infringe on Aboriginal or treaty rights. There are no automatic prohibitions or protections for species or habitat that will come into effect upon completing the listing. The action of listing the species under the Act will not change harvest quotas, regulations or land management already in place. The only direct consequence of listing the species is the requirement that a management plan be developed within two years of listing. The management plan will recommend objectives and approaches to manage northern mountain caribou in the NWT. There is already a national management plan and a regional community-based planning process that could help fulfill this requirement. If actions for the management of northern mountain caribou that have the potential to adversely affect Aboriginal and/or treaty rights are contemplated in the future, the GNWT would consult on those actions before implementing them. The GNWT engaged with Indigenous governments and Indigenous organizations (IGOs) through letters. IGOs located in or near the NWT range of northern mountain caribou were invited to comment on the potential listing of the species. One group responded expressing support for listing the species as Special Concern. The comments were recorded and were considered in forming the GNWT’s position on listing. The IGOs engaged are liste...
Government of the Northwest Territories. The Government of the Northwest Territories’ (GNWT) position on listing was formed through review of the species status report and assessment, written clarification provided by SARC, and engagement with Indigenous governments and Indigenous organizations (IGIOs), as well as the public. The Department of Environment and Climate Change (ECC) also worked with other GNWT departments through the Inter-departmental Species at Risk Committee. Public Engagement The GNWT provided an opportunity for members of the public and interested organizations to comment on the assessment and potential listing of American white pelican. The comment period was July 5 - October 31, 2023. The GNWT invited comments using a news release, print ads, fact sheets, radio announcements, social media posts, an online survey, the GNWT public engagement portal and NWT Species at Risk website. An in-person community discussion was also held in Fort Xxxxx, the closest NWT community to the nesting area for the NWT pelican population. The GNWT received six comments on the listing of American white pelican through this process. Three of the comments were in support of listing, two were not in favour of listing, and one provided no clear position. The written comments received, as well as those heard at the Fort Xxxxx community meeting, were mixed. Some emphasized the importance of the Slave River pelican colony, their sensitivity to threats, and the need to continue with monitoring and conservation efforts. Others felt that listing is unnecessary for conserving the pelicans. All comments were considered in forming the GNWT’s position on listing.
Government of the Northwest Territories. The Government of the Northwest Territory’s (GNWT) position on the recovery strategy was formed through review of the recovery strategy and engagement with Indigenous governments and Indigenous organizations (IGIOs), as well as the public. The Department of Environment and Climate Change (ECC) also worked with other GNWT departments through the Inter-departmental Species at Risk Committee. Public Engagement The GNWT provided an opportunity for members of the public and interested organizations to comment on the proposed draft Recovery Strategy for Xxxxx xxxxxxx. The comment period was July 5 - October 31, 2023. The GNWT invited comments using a news release, print ads, fact sheets, radio announcements, social media posts, an online survey, the GNWT public engagement portal and NWT Species at Risk website. The GNWT received four submissions on the recovery strategy through the public engagement process. All were responses to the online survey. They included statements emphasizing the importance of conserving Xxxxx caribou and implementing the actions in the Strategy, suggestions about the highest priority actions, and comments about observed increases in Xxxxx caribou populations. No significant concerns about the Recovery Strategy were raised. The GNWT recorded all comments. All comments were fully considered and revisions were made to the Recovery Strategy where appropriate. Detailed records of comments and how they were addressed are on file at the Wildlife Management Division, Department of Environment and Climate Change, Yellowknife.
