Action Details: Compensation Policy

Look into making compensation for bison damage available to other Yukon residents

The original compensation policy was introduced for agricultural property owners near the Alaska Highway where some "problem bison"* and elk had gathered and were causing damage to fences and hay piles. Since the bison is an introduced species and now inhabits a much larger area, consideration should be given to revising this policy accordingly.

*"Problem bison" are bison that inhabit highway allowances and the buffer zone between Alaska and the Yukon. As well, they include those bison causing problems to humans and their property in the area. They will be removed at the discretion of a Conservation Officer.
