The Maiyoo Keyoh Whuz un'a Whuts'odilhti is now documented on the ICCA Registry, the global registry of territories conserved by Indigenous peoples, maintained by the UN Environment Programme World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC).
It is one of only two sites in Canada
currently on the registry.

The listing records what the keyohwhuduchun declared under Dakelh law: the Maiyoo Keyoh Whuz un'a Whuts'odilhti Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area — 20,461 hectares of unceded Dakelh territory, enacted December 27, 2025.
The registry recognizes and documents the IPCA. It does not create it. Authority over the territory rests, as it always has, with the keyohwhuduchun.
