Which two Canadian jurisdictions define the borders spanned by Wood Buffalo National Park?
Answer
The Northwest Territories and northern Alberta.
Wood Buffalo National Park (WBNP), which houses the largest contiguous Wood Bison herd, is not confined to a single provincial or territorial boundary. Its expansive territory deliberately crosses the administrative line separating two key northern regions. Specifically, the park straddles the border region between the Northwest Territories and the northernmost parts of the province of Alberta, covering diverse ecological zones within those boundaries.
