Wood bison management strategy for the Northwest Territories 2010-2020

5 Oct 2010

Wood Bison ManageMent strategy for the northwest territories 2 0 1 0 - 2 0 2 0 Minister’s Message The Wood Bison Management Strategy for the Northwest Territories (Strategy) provides long-term vision, goals and principles for the management of wood bison in the Northwest Territories (NWT) during the next ten years. [...] It will guide the development of population-specific management plans for the Slave River Lowlands, Nahanni and Mackenzie wood bison populations and the recovery of wood bison in the NWT. [...] The Government of the NWT (GNWT) recognizes: • Recovery and restoration of wood bison in the NWT cannot be achieved without the cooperation and support of Aboriginal organizations, the Tłı̨chǫ Government and NWT communities. [...] The decline of wood bison paralleled the demise of plains bison in the south between 1840 and 1900. [...] In June 1963, an anthrax outbreak occurred in free-ranging bison to the north of the holding facility and the captive herd was transferred to an area within the historic wood bison range west of Great Slave Lake.
