Fiordland Conservancy

Fiordland Conservancy spans 84,417 hectares, featuring two main inlets, Kynoch and Mussel, with granite cliffs rising over 1,000 meters from the water.

The protected area, established in 1987, represents the first British Columbia reserve specifically designed to preserve glacial fjords and their surrounding environments.

The Kitasoo and Xai'xais Nations maintain traditional territories within the conservancy, collaborating with British Columbia authorities for environmental management.

Access to the conservancy requires boats or floatplanes, as no roads reach the area, and visitors should remain on vessels due to dense vegetation and bear presence.

The conservancy contains two major river estuaries that support seasonal salmon migrations, attracting diverse wildlife including mountain goats, wolves, and marine mammals.
