Abstract
This project was conducted to address a knowledge gap that was revealed in the Conservation Priorities Assessment: Criteria and Indicators report. The report recommended that habitats of a number of species be mapped across the Peel Watershed in order to inform conservation priorities. To inform land-use planning requires comprehensively mapping of the distribution of wildlife species or their habitat. Over two years, planning staff and local conservation experts at the Government of Yukon and Wildlife Conservation Society Canada developed habitat suitability and species diversity maps for the Peel Watershed. The resulting maps were used to identify areas of high conservation priority or potential land-use conflicts.
