Does the NWMB manage only wildlife in Nunavut?
Under the Nunavut Land Claims Agreement, the NWMB is responsible for the management of all wildlife in Nunavut. Wildlife is defined in the Agreement as all animals and plants. This includes all land and marine mammals, birds, fish and plants in Nunavut. That can range from a 50-tonne bowhead whale the size of a schoolbus, to miniature purple saxifrage flowers, to herds of thousands of caribou, and many other species of fauna and flora in between.
