The Intersection of Indigenous Knowledge and Western Science for Species at Risk and Endemics

Different ways of seeing the world will be sought to help inform how we plan to live with the world. Landscapes, species, all need their ‘part’ of the world and this project will aim to bring indigenous ways of knowing and being into how we give part of the world to them. Various First Nations in the Yukon will be co-producers of this project along every step of the way. The end goal being to create ways of protecting biological diversity and cultural diversity.
