Registered Trapping Concessions (RTCs) are legal boundaries that define an area where the holder of the concession has the exclusive right to trap furbearing animals. Because trapping is done primarily along waterways, RTCs are often defined by watersheds, using height of land (ridges and mountain peaks) as their boundaries. This is the opposite of GMAs which are defined by mountains. Sometimes RTCs are grouped together to form a Group Trapping Concession (in which groups of individual share the right to trap). This may or may not involve the elimination of the component RTC boundaries. The Yukon has 360 RTCs and 13 Group Trapping Concessions. Only Kluane National Park, Kluane Wildlife Sanctuary, and Ddhaw Ghro Habitat Protection are are not covered by RTCs.

The Broad Ecosystem Inventory (BEI) Classification provides broad regional information about the distribution of ecosystems throughout the province and the value of these ecosystems to wildlife. This work is done in order to facilitate the use of wildlife information in broad provincial and regional land and resource planning initiatives. Broad Ecosystem Units are mapped based on imagery of the provincial land base generally captured at a scale of 1:250,000. BEI mapping represents forest conditions from approximately 1995 to 2000. The BEI Classification was used to produce wildlife habitat capability and suitability mapping following Provincial Wildlife Habitat Ratings (WHR) Standards (Resource Inventory Committee 1999). Habitat classifications were based on BEI units. BEI units were evaluated and rated to determine the habitat potential (capability) and current habitat conditions (suitability) for selected wild ungulates and furbearers within each seral stage within each Broad Ecosystem Unit (and related site modifier variation) within the framework of Ecosections and Biogeoclimatic Sub-zone/Variants for their ability to supply the species’ necessary life requisites. Regional Wildlife and Habitat biologists, technicians, Forest Ecosystem Specialists, and consulting species experts provided species habitat ratings for each region of the province. Wildlife habitat capability and suitability mapping was completed for the following wild ungulates and furbearers: Northwestern Moose, Alaskan Moose, Shiras' Moose, Bison, Rocky Mountain Elk, Roosevelt Elk, Columbian Black-tailed Deer, Rocky Mountain Mule Deer, Sitka Black-tailed Deer, White-tailed Deer, Dakota White-tailed Deer, Northwestern White-tailed Deer, Boreal Woodland Caribou, Mountain Woodland Caribou, Northern Woodland Caribou, Lynx, Bobcat, and American Badger. Habitat mapping followed Provincial Wildlife Habitat Ratings (WHR) Standards (Resource Inventory Committee 1999).
