A Two-Eyed Seeing approach to determine historical and current distribution of the wood turtle, Migjigj, in the Matapedia-Restigouche watershed

Combining multiple methods like MEK (Traditional Ecological Knowledge), environmental DNA (eDNA) analysis, and traditional wildlife surveys can provide a comprehensive approach to determine the historical and current distribution of wood turtles (Migjigj) in the Matapedia-Restigouche watershed. This approach not only enhances the accuracy of findings but also respects and integrates diverse knowledge systems, contributing to more effective conservation and management strategies for Migjigj.
