Shúhtagot'ine Néné (Shoot-ah-gote-ineh Neh-nay) is in the Mackenzie Mountains of the Tulita District. In August 2009 the Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) agreed to sponsor Shúhtagot'ine Néné as a candidate National Wildlife Area.  Due to difficulties in obtaining a land withdrawal and changing community priorities, the boundaries were substantially reduced in February 2011 and the area was instead advanced as a Conservation Zone under the Sahtu Land Use Plan. Discussions are ongoing between CWS and the Land Corporations and communities as to whether all or a portion of the revised area may still be advanced through the PAS process as a National Wildlife Area.

For more information, please contact the PAS Secretariat or the Sahtu Land Use Planning Board at www.sahtulanduseplan.org or Executive Director Edna Tobac etobac@netkaster.ca or phone (867) 598-2055.
