@Ella_bowles_82 on ‘community-based participatory research’

Before we do any work, we go to the community & ask ‘What work do you want?’

Collab starts before the beginning & continues through and beyond results communication & recommendations/actions

Loving topics so far. Critical thinking about the “science rules” doctrine of N American #wildlife mgmt.

**Whose science? matters.

** Use by agencies, decision-making processes? matters.

Excited to join panelists @24beavers @mateens22 @ella_bowles_82 and Hunter Lampreau for a @bc_tws discussion on more inclusive and effective models for #wildlife conservation and restoration.

Sounds like the live zoom is full - but we will try to make a recording available.

Our new paper out in @GlobalChangeBio reveals how how Pacific salmon and trout from the Keogh (Giyuxw) River are getting "squeezed" from stressful changes in their ocean and river environments

Iqaluit (Nunavut, Canada) has fuel contamination in their drinking water supply. How is the whole country not talking about this.

A case of bottled water when I was there 3 years ago was $75 for 24 bottles. Please be safe #Iqaluit.

Ladies and gentlethems, we give you the REAL stars of Fat Bear Week...the salmon.

At @KatmaiNPS in Alaska, salmon are the lifeblood of a fertile coastal ecosystem. At Brooks Falls, the salmon must run a gauntlet of hungry bears before proceeding further inland to spawn.

[Cory Matheson @PSFcory]

Fall is here and with it salmon are returning to rivers and streams across BC to do what they do best... spawn and die.

Check out @PSF's new 'salmon spotting' page to find areas close to you where you can see salmon spawning in rivers.

I watched this mural honouring #MMIWG take shape in my community over the summer. At a time with so much division, it feels like a beacon of hope and love.

You can read about the two-year process for creating the piece in my most recent for @TheTyee.

@laurenkplaw @MemorialU Congrats you amazing and inspiring human! ❤️

[Dani 🪶✨🦦 (she/they) @Danishinaabe]

I actually really encourage settlers to donate whatever they make on the 30th from their paid holiday to Indigenous groups in their area if you can afford it. Why is it that you get a paid holiday while our families still grieve our loss of languages, culture and family?
