| Summary | Since 2016, the Kátł’odeeche First Nation (KFN) has been tracking the health of the environment through a community-based, Traditional Knowledge-focused harvest monitoring program. The project aimed to inform KFN membership, as well as industry and government, of evidence-based environmental trends and changes over time. Traditional Knowledge data collection coincided with seasonal traditional on-the-land harvesting activities during the fall moose hunt, winter boreal caribou hunt, spring geese hunt, summer berry harvest, and summer-fall fish harvest. Monitoring was done consistently based on time of year and location. Results presented below focus on boreal caribou monitoring. |
| Local Relevance | According to the data collected, KFN’s Traditional Territory is experiencing major effects of climate change, impacting KFN’s traditional way of life. |
| Notes | This bulletin is part of the Cumulative Impact Monitoring Program's NWT Environmental Research Bulletin series - Volume 9, Issue 73. |
