Nakina – Inklin Rivers (Kuthai Area)/Yáwu Yaa Conservancy

Highlights in this conservancy

Nakina – Inklin Rivers (Kuthai Area)/Yáwu Yaa Conservancy was established as a result of the Wóoshtin Wudidaa Atlin Taku Land Use Plan and Taku River Tlingit First Nation Strategic Engagement Agreement.

The conservancy is part of large core network of contiguous protected areas. The area encompasses high value fish and wildlife habitat and many important cultural sites. The conservancy is named after a well known Tlingit marker called Yáwu Yaa, or “face of the mountain”, at the confluence of the Inklin and Nakina rivers.
