	Canadian Guidebook for the Application of IUCN Protected Area Categories This guidebook has been prepared by experts from protected area agencies across Canada to provide further explanation to the World Conservation Union (IUCN) Guidelines of 1994, an international system to categorize and report on protected areas at the global level. This guidebook reflects current Canadian thinking on the IUCN classification system and provides a common tool for all Canadian jurisdictions to improve consistency in classifying protected areas and encourages cooperation in protected areas assessment and reporting. 66 pgs, CCEA Occasional Paper #18 2008 (English or French)
	Protected Areas in Northern Canada: Designing for Ecological Integrity (NPA 1) This report reviews and assesses science-based approaches appropriate for the design of protected areas in northern Canada. It contains results of a pan-Canadian survey of protected area agencies and practitioners. A central thesis of this report is that large protected areas with inherent ecological integrity are cornerstones in efforts to conserve wildlife and the ecological processes necessary to sustain them. 110 pgs, CCEA 2005
	Protected Areas in Northern Canada: Identifying Ecological Areas to Represent Mammals (NPA 2) Building on the conclusions of NPA1, this report is a case study of the Western Canadian Mammalian Province, which is largely coincident with Canada’s boreal ecozones east of the cordillera. The focus of this casestudy is the testing of an optimization model for representing disturbance sensitive mammalian species in protected areas large enough to maintain species diversity. This paper contains potential applications by protected area agencies and ENGOs conducting gap analyses throughout this region. 45 pgs, CCEA 2007
