Wetland Enhancement by Tsay Keh Dene Nation
EF 2024-25 · 2024-11-20
Résumé
The construction of the W.A.C. Bennett dam and resulting Williston Reservoir irreversibly impacted Tsay Keh Dene Nation (TKDN) territory, resulting in the loss of significant wetland areas, altered habitat and displaced species and has impaired ability to provide essential ecosystem services and wildlife habitat. This project will enhance four wetlands as well as construct a wetland park including an interpretative trail to increase access for Tsay Keh Dene Nation citizens for recreation and cultural purposes. Interpretative signs in both English and Sekani language will also support the revitalization and preservation of Tsay Keh Dene Culture and Language in the community.

Description (French)
La construction du W.A.C. Le barrage Bennett et le réservoir Williston qui en a résulté ont eu un impact irréversible sur le territoire de la Nation Tsay Keh Dene (TKDN), entraînant la perte d'importantes zones humides, la modification de l'habitat et le déplacement d'espèces et ont altéré la capacité à fournir des services écosystémiques essentiels et un habitat faunique. Ce projet permettra d'améliorer quatre zones humides et de construire un parc de zones humides comprenant un sentier d'interprétation pour accroître l'accès des citoyens de la Nation Tsay Keh Dene à des fins récréatives et culturelles. Des panneaux interprétatifs en anglais et en sekani soutiendront également la revitalisation et la préservation de la culture et de la langue Tsay Keh Dene dans la communauté.
