Boreal caribou

Applications are now open for the First Nations Caribou Recovery Implementation Fund (FNCRIF). The FNCRIF was developed to reduce barriers for, and support participation by First Nations communities and organizations in recovery efforts for threated caribou herds in British Columbia.

Eligible projects include those which support and promote the recovery of caribou listed as “threatened” under the federal Species at Risk Act, and includes the following herds: Boreal, Southern Mountain-Northern Group, Southern Mountain – Central Group, and Southern Mountain – Southern Group. All First Nations communities with tradition territory within British Columbia, and First Nations organizations are eligible for funding.

Sacred Science Video Series

Bringing together Indigenous knowledge and western science creates opportunities for new solutions to environmental challenges, including issues that are important to Indigenous People.

The Sacred Science video series, developed in collaboration with Indigenous communities in Alberta, Alberta Innovates and InnoTech Alberta, tells the stories of how these communities are leveraging these two knowledge systems to tackle complex conservation and land management challenges and to preserve their cultures.

These videos demonstrate successful collaboration between Indigenous communities and natural scientists that create meaningful impact and demonstrate our commitment to reconciliation, particularly in the natural sciences.
