Yukon State of the Environment Report 1995
The 1995 report was the first comprehensive report under Yukon's Environment Act to evaluate the state of Yukon's environment. The 156-page document covers air, water, land, the living world, and focuses on ecosystems. This report set the first big picture of the Yukon environment, and established an all-important baseline information on environmental factors.
The 1995 report is out of print. A scanned copy can be downloaded below. Note, however, that the scan quality is modest to keep the file as small as possible. A copy of the highlights section is also available for download.
