Two in three Yukon residents outright support the territorial government’s commitment to advance conservation initiatives contributing to Canada’s goal of protecting 30% of land in the country by 2030 (CPAWS Yukon/Nanos)

Yukoners are over four times more likely to be supportive to some extent (68% support; 11% somewhat support) rather than opposed to some extent (six percent somewhat oppose; 11% outright oppose) of the Yukon government’s commitment to advance conservation initiatives and contribute to Canada’s goal of protecting at least 30% of the land in Canada by 2030. Women are more likely to support or somewhat support this (89%) than men (70%).

The research gauged the opinions among residents of Yukon on ecosystems, wildlife and/or culturally important lands that also have rich deposits of minerals.

Nanos conducted a random digit dialing (RDD) dual frame (land- and cell-lines) random telephone survey of 403 residents of Yukon, 18 years of age or older, between August 7th and 21st, 2025.

The margin of error for a random survey of 403 residents of Yukon is ±4.9 percentage points, 19 times out of 20.
