What we’re up to
Renewable resource management in the Champagne and Aishihik Territory
The Alsek Renewable Resources Council supports Champagne and Aishihik First Nation and the Government of Yukon in making decisions on the management of renewable resources (fish, wildlife and forests) in the Champagne and Aishihik Territory. A number of management plans and policies are in place that guide decision-making.

Management Partners
The Yukon has 10 Renewable Resources Councils (RRCs). They are established in Yukon First Nations Traditional Territories, where the local First Nation has signed a Settlement Agreement.
The RRCs are the primary instrument for local renewable resources management. In contrast, Yukon Fish and Wildlife Management Board (YFWMB) is mandated to address issues at the territorial and national levels.
Each RRC serves a complementary role to the YFWMB by providing invaluable local, traditional knowledge, advice, and technical information. The YFWMB and RRCs and meet at least once a year.
