The Boreal Cordillera Ecozone, as defined by the Commission for Environmental Cooperation (CEC), is a Canadian terrestrial ecozone occupying most of the northern third of British Columbia and southern half of Yukon. Within it is found Kluane National Park and Reserve, and a small portion of the southern range of Nahanni National Park Reserve.[1] Most of the area's population is based in the city of Whitehorse, and it contains most of Yukon's population. The portion in British Columbia is barely populated.[2]
The main economic activity is mining, particularly of gold, which discovery in the region led to the Klondike Gold Rush.[3] In addition to the area's rich mineral deposits, active industries exist in forestry and tourism.[4]
