Published purpose
The project focuses on ecosystem changes driven by beaver activity across aquatic and terrestrial environments and their impacts on community wellbeing. Using a community monitoring app, the research aims to connect ecological changes to Inuvialuit wellbeing, aligning scientific monitoring with holistic Inuvialuit knowledge systems. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems, particularly in the context of food sovereignty and security, as beaver activity can affect access to important subsistence resources like fish and terrestrial fauna.
