Designated in 2019, the 5.7 million acre Thaidene Nene National Park Reserve and Territorial Protected Areas are a key source of subsistence and hold deep spiritual value to the Łutsël K’é Dene people. This complex stands as the largest single area ever permanently protected with the help of Hansjörg Wyss and Wyss Foundation philanthropy, and we anticipate that an additional 730,000 acre territorial wildlife area will be added to the complex in 2021. Thanks to Wyss Foundation support, the Łutsël K’é Dene have the long-term resources to co-manage their traditional homeland alongside Parks Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories Learn More
