The Peel watershed region in the Yukon is being considered for designation as a national park, a move that has been met with enthusiasm by Indigenous leaders and conservationists. The proposed park would encompass 3,000 square kilometers of protected land, including the Peel River corridor, Turner Lake wetlands, and Caribou River areas. The feasibility study for the park was announced by the Gwich’in Tribal Council, along with the First Nation of Na-Cho Nyak Dün, and the governments of Canada and the Yukon.
