🌲 Akami-Uapishkᵘ-KakKasuak-Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve

Akami−Uapishkᵘ−KakKasuak−Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve is a national park reserve in the Labrador region of Newfoundland and Labrador. Established in 2015, its area covers approximately 10,700 square kilometres (4,131 sq mi). Along with the Mealy Mountains, the park protects a large portion of boreal forest, tundra and more than 50 kilometres of shoreline on the Labrador Sea and Lake Melville. It is the largest national park in eastern Canada, and the largest protected area in all of eastern North America. It is inhabited by a variety of wildlife, fish and migratory birds, including the threatened Mealy Mountains woodland caribou herd, and healthy populations of wild atlantic salmon, in decline throughout its range. Other mammals that inhabit this park reserve are wolf packs, black bear, marten and two species of fox. Agreements with the indigenous peoples of the area, including the Innu, Inuit, and NunatuKavut allow for the sharing of various management and planning responsibilities, and the continuation of Indigenous rights in the protected area.
