$215,770.00

Oct 13, 2020 - Mar 31, 2023

A four-part project to address the issue building on research and management directions established by all affected parties in recent years: (1) a joint community and government muskox monitoring program, (2) a series of workshops and a social science program examining community members’ perspectives on muskox, (3) the continuation of research components of our collaboratively developed research program, and (4) to establish greater value for the species through collaborative community and youth harvest activities, health monitoring, and training programs to create resilience in the face of unpredictable and vulnerable caribou herds. All activities will be held in Aklavik and the surrounding regions with the overarching aim of increasing awareness and understanding about muskox’s role on the landscape.

Polar Knowledge Application Program

This Program aims to lead the mobilization of polar science and technology into action. CHARS will "analyse and disseminate polar knowledge from its Science and Technology Program, as well as that from current federal, territorial and other stakeholders, and investments to inform management, programming and policies; promote Artic science and technology nationally and internationally; and build capacity through training, outreach, and learning opportunities. This will ensure polar knowledge is relevant to stakeholders and builds a science culture in Canada.
