Each year, the Wildlife Management Advisory Council (North Slope) reviews proposals for research projects related to wildlife management and ecological monitoring on the Yukon North Slope. Projects supported by the Council are recommended to Parks Canada, Yukon Government and the Canadian Wildlife Service, who carry out the research. The funding for these projects comes in full or in part through the Inuvialuit Final Agreement.
