      <image:title>Blog - Gladiator Metals Stakes Jackson Ridge - Hike Jackson Ridge Trail: The hiking trail is within the traditional territory of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation (KDFN) and is accessible just under 20 kms from downtown Whitehorse. To get to the trailhead, you turn off of the Alaska Hwy onto Fish Lake Road, then Jackson Lake Road (See Yukon Hiking for detailed directions &amp; trail description). Go hike Jackson Ridge before Gladiator starts exploration activities in the area if you want to enjoy it in its current, beautiful condition. Hiking this area and appreciating its condition prior to possible disturbance can create a greater understanding of the impacts of exploration, create empathy and assert value greater than mining as a land use.</image:title>

There is also overlap here and there with First Nations settlement lands (Note: Maps show property lines and do not show where houses are located). Map: Laura Pothier Guerra.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Backyard Mining in Whitehorse - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Cowley Creek has been in the media recently due to the activities of Gladiator Metals breaking the conditions of their permit in several ways. Note that the activities happened outside the CoW limits but very close to private property within CoW limits.

      <image:caption>Crestview at the north end of Whitehorse is the current limit of staked land within Whitehorse. However, note that the Kulan industrial area is overlain by active mining claims. Should these claims ever be developed, there would be a conflict between the surface owners (includes land developers) and sub-surface or mineral owners (mining companies).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Backyard Mining in Whitehorse - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>The Canyon Crescent and Mount Sima Subdivision area could potentially be impacted by new mining operations. In a worst-case scenario, the result could end up looking like the Whitehorse Copper mine tailings area which is in the centre of the mapped area.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Backyard Mining in Whitehorse - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>This area known as Raven's Ridge was initially outside city limits, in a region called the copper belt. Over the decades it became included within the municipal boundaries. Within the mapped area, claims overlap with McIntyre Creek and Southern Lakes caribou herd range. The area is used by many other species like bears and lynx. Mining in the area would certainly fragment the wildlife corridor running through the CoW. Additionally, recreation would be impacted (Mount Mac Ski trails, and associated mountain bike and hiking trails).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Backyard Mining in Whitehorse - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Oddly enough, Whitehorse Copper (despite its name) is probably the furthest from valid mining claims out of all mining companies &amp; their corresponding affected subdivisions. However, should mineral exploration and/or development proceed, areas where residents recreate would be severely impacted.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In the Yukon, Chapter 11 of the Yukon Final Agreements lays out how to do RLUPs across all parts of the Yukon covered by treaties. Thus far, the northern parts of the territory have finished plans, and the Dawson region’s plan is reaching its final stages. The Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and the Government of Yukon are the two parties to the Plan.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Blog - Land Planning in the Yukon - Integrated Conservation Action Plan (ICAP)</image:title>
      <image:caption>The ICAP is one outcome of the Yukon South Beringia Priority Place Initiative (YSB PPI). This is the northern representative of a Canada wide effort to complement the species and place focused approach to conservation exemplified by the Species At Risk Act (SARA) and the National Parks Act by involving local people in finding approaches to conserve special ecosystems. Yukon South Beringia, notably, hosts the remains of the Mammoth Steppe, the ancient grasslands that once stretched from here across Asia to Spain.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Layered on top of RLUPs and ICAPs is another way to preserve relationships with the land- Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs). We don’t have any of these yet, but the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in have proposed one as part of the Dawson RLUP and the Kaska Nation have been trying to get one in their sovereign territory for several years.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>YCS sees great potential for biomass heating units to work with electric heating units where one acts as a backup for the other. This is the ultimate achievement in replacing imported fossil fuels with local renewable resources, and should be actively explored and implemented. In 2015, we commented on the Yukon’s draft Biomass Energy Strategy. The document contains some interesting background and commentary on using biomass in the Yukon, which is relevant today.</image:caption>
