Enhancing Ecosystem Sustainability

This interdisciplinary team will mobilize experts in traditional ecological knowledge, large animal biology, plant ecology and ecosystem assessment and mapping to inform policy and practice and develop tools for resilience in the face of prior ecological disruption and impending climate change. The cluster will develop effective methods of partnership and knowledge exchange with the Syilx people to inform our identification and understanding of the relations between humans, animals, plants and the land.
