The Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) and Mikisew Cree First Nation (MCFN) recently launched a joint Tâdzié-Sagow Atihk (woodland caribou) Stewardship Plan.

The plan outlines strategies to recover populations of woodland boreal caribou within four ranges that overlap with the traditional territories of the ACFN and MCFN, to an extent that would facilitate reliance on the populations for subsistence and cultural practices.  

Using Indigenous Knowledge supported by western science, the plan identifies three stewardship zones for habitat protection, restoration, and active management.

The plan can be accessed from the following link: 75b7f5_c1236f1c4def4a0cb54a92d54895f5cb.pdf (acfn.com)
