Before we started planning the region, we needed to understand our interests and issues in the region: past, present and expected. To do this, we wrote a report on our understanding of the Region's issues and interests. This report is based on the input from the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Government and the Government of Yukon, as well as the public and plan partners from 2012 and in late 2019.

We encourage you to read our report. However, it is summarized below.

This term is intended to refer to an ecological, economic or cultural value that is contained in, expressed by, supported by, or inspired by land, water, fish, wildlife, historic and heritage resources in the planning region.

This term is intended to refer to any aspect of the abundance, status or condition of an interest or value about which people have expressed need, desire, concern or fear.
