Description of wildlife research studies and projects undertaken in the NWT during 2012.

Vulnerability Assessment of the Slave River and Delta
Summary report for the Community Workshop convened in Fort Smith, January 24–26, 2012
Prepared for the Slave River and Delta Partnership
Final Report: April 2016
Prepared by Jennifer Dagg
The Pembina Institute
With input from the GNWT

The following is a summary of a completed study that mapped the predicted ecosystem changes that would occur in the NWT and Alaska (not shown) due to warming temperatures associated with climate change. Three scenarios, based on global greenhouse gas emissions, were studied; a low temperature increase, an average temperature increase, and a high temperature increase. The results were overlain on a map of the NWT, and these maps are presented in this summary. For more information on the study and its methodology, please refer to the full report completed by the Scenarios Network for Arctic Planning and the EWHALE lab, University of Alaska Fairbanks.

Ecological Regions of the Northwest Territories - Southern Arctic Ecological Land Classification Report. 2012.

As part of the process for establishing a protected area in the Northwest Territories (NWT), an assessment of the potential socio-economic effects of designating a protected area is required. The NWT is currently assessing whether it should protect all or parts of the Ts‟ude niline Tu‟eyeta Candidate Protected Area, an area of about 15,000 square kilometres in the Sahtu Region, and has commissioned this study to assess the potential social and economic impacts on the adjacent community of Fort Good Hope.
