The Habitat Restoration Working Group (HRWG) of the NBCKC
Established in 2019, the Habitat Restoration Working Group (HRWG) is a working group of the National Boreal Caribou Knowledge Consortium (NBCKC), and is a forum to share, generate, and mobilize knowledge for caribou recovery related to habitat restoration. This working group includes members of the NBCKC and Indigenous Knowledge Circle (IKC) as well as additional experts, knowledge holders and practitioners in the field of habitat restoration. The HRWG is co-facilitated by Environment & Climate Change Canada (Science & Technology Branch) and Natural Resources Canada (Canadian Forest Service).

Members of the HRWG work together to share, generate and mobilize knowledge to achieve this goal. |
