Long-term trends contributing to the declining abundance of salmon are far reaching and include concerns over food security, ecosystem deficiencies, and a lack of cultural connection and knowledge transfer for Yukon First Nations.
Salmon plays an integral role in Yukon First Nations culture and provides food security. The Yukon is home to four species of anadromous Pacific Salmon.
The Yukon Salmon Knowledge Hub is a three-year initiative funded by the Canadian Mountain Network and administered by the Council of Yukon First Nations.
