Virtual Meeting

“Monitoring Caribou Habitat in Canada’s Changing North”

Presenter: Ryan Danby

 

Many of Canada’s large northern caribou herds have declined over the last two decades. While the herds are known to fluctuate naturally, the magnitude of their recent declines is well outside of historical observations. Climate-related changes in habitat condition may be partly responsible, and this presentation will explore the use of modern satellite mapping technologies for examining this.

 

Presenter: Dr. Ryan Danby is an associate professor of Geography and Environmental Studies at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario. He has been conducting research in Northern Canada and Alaska for the last 25 years with the aim of better understanding the causes and consequences of ecosystem change and their implications for conservation.

 

Given that Caribou once roamed in areas north of New Brunswick, this presentation is of interest to us all.

Searching for Species at Risk and Areas of Ecological Significance within the Traditional Territory of the Peskotomukati

Working for the Peskotomukati at Skutik, Todd Watts has spent much of the last few years searching the land for species at risk and areas of ecological significance. This work has taken place within the traditional territory of the First Nation, which includes the watersheds of the Skutik/St. Croix River, as well as the Digdeguash, Magagadavic, Pocologan, New and Lepreau Rivers.  Through this work, he has the opportunity to observe the state of the land in a way that few people do. Join Todd as he talks about this work and its findings.
