The Caribou Range Planning Project invites you to join this workshop to learn from others about how range planning for caribou is taking place, and how it is being done in collaboration between provincial and territorial governments and Indigenous nations and organizations.
Joe Tetlichi, chair of the Porcupine Caribou Management Board along with another member of the PCMB will share how they are collaborating to create a range plan with 5 First Nations, two territorial governments and the federal government. He will also share how they are bridging Indigenous and western knowledge systems in their range planning, including how they are developing a database of Indigenous Knowledge.
Following the presentation, a dialogue will take place between participants to share their own experience with range planning and discuss:
- What can we learn from management boards about collaborative range planning between First Nations, Inuit and Métis and provincial and territorial governments?
- Where do we start range planning together? What do those first steps look like?
This virtual workshop will support those who are working to advance caribou range planning in provincial or territorial governments as well as in Indigenous governments, communities or organizations.
