Kitikmeot Regional Wildlife Board

Purpose

This project will document caribou Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ) from Elders in all Kitikmeot communities, train harvesters to record mobile-based observations on the land, develop engagement tools to support continued monitoring after project completion, and build a plan to make HTO-led monitoring sustainable across the Kitikmeot region. Resulting data in a broad range of formats will be synched to Kitikmeot Regional Wildlife Board's current digital IQ and mapping information management system. The engagement tools developed will strengthen engagement within and among communities in the region and support and sustain monitoring and stewardship of wildlife—caribou and others—for generations to come.
