Beaver are a culturally important species to the people of Fort Nelson First Nation, and are still hunted and trapped throughout FNFN territory. The spring hunt for beaver, timed for when the animals are fat and in good condition from winter, was and still is an important activity within the FNFN community, and all parts of the beaver are used. FNFN has both a right and a responsibility to ensure that all facets of the ecosystem in our territory are managed in keeping with traditional laws and cultural practices.
Moose are a critical food source for Fort Nelson First Nation community members and a high priority concern. This initial pilot monitoring program is part of a broader initiative by FNFN to use our Guardian Program to monitor moose populations in FNFN territory and promote sustainable moose populations over the long term.
A 2014 report published by the UVic Environmental Law Centre, commissioned by the Fort Nelson First Nation. The report is a detailed assessment of BC fracking wastewater disposal regulation shortfalls and best practice examples taken from other jurisdictions that could apply to FNFN territory. ​
Until recently, our people harvested caribou throughout our territory for countless generations. Historically, boreal caribou provided us with sustenance, clothing, tools, utensils, snowshoes and other necessities important to our physical and cultural survival. In recent years, we are seeing decreasing populations and diminishing habitat. We intend to reverse this trend. To achieve this goal, a number of key actions need to be undertaken.
