Equal Use of Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge in Species Assessments: A Case Study From the Northwest Territories, Canada
Resource
Interest in meaningfully including and applying Indigenous knowledge in species at risk assessment processes is growing, but serious procedural challenges remain to achieving this in international...
Graminoids Vary in Functional Traits, Carbon Dioxide and Methane Fluxes in a Restored Peatland: Implications for Modeling Carbon Storage
Resource
One metric of peatland restoration success is the re-establishment of a carbon sink, yet considerable uncertainty remains around the timescale of carbon sink trajectories. Conditions post-restoration...
Knowing the Herd: A Summary of Boreal Caribou Monitoring in Canada Part I: Perspectives from the NBCKC Monitoring Working Group
Resource
Formed in 2018, the National Boreal Caribou Knowledge Consortium (NBCKC) is a forum for collaboration and information sharing that brings together experts and knowledge holders to support the recovery...
Multi-objective Optimization can Balance Trade-offs Among Boreal Caribou, Biodiversity, and Climate Change Objectives when Conservation Hotspots do not Overlap
Resource
The biodiversity and climate change crises have led countries—including Canada—to commit to protect more land and inland waters and to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. Canada is also obligated...
Natural Climate Solutions

Alongside the steep reductions needed in fossil fuel emissions, natural climate solutions (NCS) represent readily deployable options that can contribute to Canada’s goals for emission reductions. We...
Protecting Boreal Caribou Habitat Can Help Conserve Biodiversity and Safeguard Large Quantities of Soil Carbon in Canada
Resource
Boreal caribou require large areas of undisturbed habitat for persistence. They are listed as threatened with the risk of extinction in Canada because of landscape changes induced by human activities...
Recent Climate Change has Driven Divergent Hydrological Shifts in High-latitude Peatlands
Resource
High-latitude peatlands are changing rapidly in response to climate change, including permafrost thaw. Here, we reconstruct hydrological conditions since the seventeenth century using testate amoeba...
