Published purpose

Wildlife health is deeply tied to food security, culture, and ecosystem sustainability in the Canadian North, where climate change threatens key species like caribou and muskoxen. The Kutz Research Group’s long-standing community-based wildlife health surveillance program, now supported by post-doctoral researcher Dr. Olivia Hee, integrates Traditional Ecological Knowledge with science to monitor wildlife, inform management decisions, and build local capacity through training, data sharing, and expanded research efforts across the Arctic.
