GIS concepts and capabilities needed to support Kluane National Park Reserve management planning: The Alsek River valley pilot study.
Parks Canada uses park management planning to put into practice the dual mandate of protecting environmentally significant areas and providing for recreational activities within those areas. A park management plan lays out the objectives and strategies to indicate how each national park will protect...
