Yukon Lands Withdrawn From Disposal Under Wildlife Act

Government of Yukon data provides spatial representations of Orders in Council (OIC) related to land withdrawals. The dataset includes both active and expired orders authorized under the Wildlife Act, clarifying lands withdrawn from disposal in Yukon. Users must consult linked OIC documents for specific details not captured in GIS attributes.

Use Cases

• Map active land withdrawals under the Wildlife Act using the spatial views to analyze protected area distributions.
• Compare spatial data for active versus expired orders to study historical changes in land withdrawal regulations.
• Integrate this spatial dataset with other Corporate Spatial Warehouse (CSW) views by Act for cross-legislative land use analysis.

Strengths

• Data is split into spatial views by the specific Act authorizing the orders, providing organized access.
• The table includes both active and expired orders, offering a complete regulatory record.
• Spatial data is distributed via the authoritative GeoYukon platform by the Government of Yukon.

Limitations

• GIS attributes lack details on the different levels of land withdrawal, requiring users to read external OIC documents.
• Not all orders are for land withdrawal, and the specific purpose of each order is not detailed within the dataset.
• Sample data and structural details like column names and row counts are unavailable for assessment.
