Cumulative Effects
Summary:• Excellent protection of the land through
large Conservation Zones and connections between them
• Designate entire South Nahanni Watershed as a Conservation Zone – 3rd Party interests as non-conforming uses– Mining is biggest threat to ecological
values of the area
• Maintain current water quality in the South Nahanni Watershed
Summary (cont’d):• Do not allow all-weather road access in
the South Nahanni Watershed
• Consider a Conservation Zone in the Peel River Plateau ecoregion
• Excellent cumulative effects measures, support full implementation
Way to go Dehcho!
