The Wanačas-Hiłḥuuʔis Conservancy[1] is a conservancy in British Columbia, Canada. Established on June 18, 2024, the conservancy covers 5,366 hectares of land.[2][3] It covers parts of the Meares Island. It borders the ƛułp̓ic Conservancy to its north.[4]
Its name Wanačas-Hiłḥuuʔis is composed of two Nuu-cha-nulth Tla-o-qui-aht place names: Wanačas for Lone Cone which means "flukes of a diving whale", and Hiłḥuuʔis for both Mount Colnett and the shore on Lemmens Inlet on its western slopes which means "as far as you can go" or "something below mountain".[5][6]
