Kitaskino Nuwenëné Wildlands Provincial Park is located directly south of Wood Buffalo National Park and is adjacent to the Birch River and Richardson Wildland Provincial Parks. Kitaskino, means “our land” in Cree and Nuwenëné means “our land” in Dene.
Established in 2019, the park covers 313,880 hectares, making the wildland and surrounding area the largest contiguous area of protected land in the world. This achievement was made possible through the collaboration of Indigenous communities, industry partners, and the Government of Alberta.
The park provides habitat protection for caribou, the Ronald Lake bison herd, and other northern Albertan wildlife species. With fly in access only, the area also supports remote backcountry activities, hunting, fishing, and hiking as well as Indigenous people’s traditional activities.
Lower Athabasca Regional Plan (LARP) newly established area will enable Alberta to contribute to the largest contiguous boreal protected area in the world.
