Student researcher seeking organizations to share their work surrounding reconciliation and systemic decolonization

18 May 2021

Hello New Brunswick Environmental Network!

My name is Abigail Christ-Rowling and I am an Environmental Studies student at Mount Allison University and an Intern at Community Forests International.

I am reaching out to connect with non-Indigenous environmental organizations in the Atlantic region to learn about their involvement and acknowledgment of Indigenous stakeholders. My focus is to highlight how environmental organizations are promoting reconciliation and systematic decolonization. My goal is to inspire greater action for Indigenous justice within the environmental community by documenting and sharing the ongoing efforts.

I would love to connect and learn about the valuable work your organization is doing. If this is something that your organization is interested in and open to talking about, please get in touch.

Thanks,
Abigail Christ-Rowling

Increase funding for tree-science research by signing petition e-3353

Canada's climate is changing rapidly and more severely than most regions on earth, and it is uncertain whether our trees will survive. See https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/climate-change/impacts-adaptations/climate-change-impacts-forests/forest-change-indicators/tree-mortality/17785 When the intrinsic metabolism engendering tree survival fitness becomes compromised, trees become more susceptible to insects and disease. Forest scientists have been quick to attribute rising mortality rates mostly to insects, but with present knowledge they can only speculate on the reasons for loss of resistance. Solid scientific answers to such questions cannot be provided, because the tree-science research has not been done.

Click here to read the full article on the rationale behind petition e-3353.

Click here to view and sign petition e-3353 which calls for the Government of Canada to:

Create and fund the National Council of Tree Science Research within the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Canada;
Provide funding and infrastructure support comparable to that presently provided to the Canada Space Agency; and
Emphasize fundamental research to understand and ensure ongoing survival fitness in each of Canada's tree species and its native geographic provenances, and support the research of physiologists, histologists, cell biologists, molecular biologists, biochemists, biophysicists, and geneticists, in each research institution.

Please share this petition with your networks.
