Description: 

The NWT State of the Conservation Network Report includes comprehensive data and
information from best available sources, which is used to report on indicators and provide a baseline
of comparison for future progress. This first Report focuses solely on protected areas as criteria exist
for protected areas and they are well defined in the NWT. As the NWT progresses with defining specific
criteria for areas to be part of the conservation network, future reports will report on the conservation
network as a whole.
