	Publication #18 - Canadian Guidebook for the Application of IUCN Protected Area Categories 2008 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. 2008 (English or French), 66 pgs. Available for Order.
	Publication #17 - Protected Areas in Northern Canada: Identifying Ecological Areas to Represent Mammals 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 case study 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. 2007 (English), 45 pgs. Available for Order.
	Publication #16 - Protected Areas in Northern Canada: Designing for Ecological Integrity 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. 2005 (English),110 pgs. Available for Order.
	Publication #15 - Guidelines for Completing Jurisdictional Reports Annually, each jurisdiction, including several federal government departments, and provincial and territorial governments, is encouraged to file a single report for their jurisdiction covering those programs and initiatives relevant to the aims and interests of the Canadian Council on Ecological Areas (CCEA).To streamline the reporting process and reports, the CCEA Executive has established guidelines and a standard reporting format. The first guidelines were adopted in 1986 (Occasional Paper No. 3).
