Community Based Monitoring

Presented by:
Gleb Raygorodetsky & Cheryl Chetkiewicz PhD, Wildlife Conservation Society of Canada

As part of laying the foundation for developing a pilot Community-Based Management (CBM) project in Ontario's Northern Boreal, particularly in the Ring of Fire, WCS Canada is holding an information session on CBM at the Northern Ontario First Nations Environment Conference (NOFNEC). The session’s goal is to introduce First Nations' community members to CBM approaches and methodologies, share information with community members on CBM, receive feedback, and assess community interests in and priorities for developing a pilot CBM project. The CBM session will provide NOFNEC participants with copies of a community-friendly version of the WCS Canada Report called, "Watching, Listening, Learning to Understand Change".
