In 1995, the Yukon Umbrella Final Agreement (UFA) came into effect. This agreement established the framework for the settlement of First Nation Land Claims in the Yukon Territory. It also created several public bodies that bring First Nations and non-First Nations together to manage Yukon lands and resources.

Chapter 16 of the Umbrella Final Agreement recognizes the Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board (YFWMB) as “the primary instrument of Fish and Wildlife management in the Yukon.” At the working level, the Board deals with conservation and management of fish, wildlife, habitat and wildlife users on a territorial-wide basis. 

To learn more about the YFWMB, visit our About Us section, or follow links on the left for information on Coming Events, Present Issues, Publications, ways to Participate or to Contact Us.
