Inaugural Seminar

Dennis Brown on Salmon Management, 01/18/2006 (mp3 format).

Forests and Oceans for the Future is a research group based at UBC that focuses on ecological knowledge research conducted in collaboration with north coast British Columbia communities.

Our research is intended to help incorporate core community values and knowledge (aboriginal and non-aboriginal) in local sustainable forest and natural resource management. As part of our teaching and research activities we host a seminar series, Forests and Oceans for the Future, at UBC during the regular academic term.

Our research group focuses on the following three key activities:

* applied research into local ecological knowledge
* Policy development and evaluation
* education materials designed to facilitate mutual respect, effective communication, and knowledge-sharing between First Nations and other natural resource stakeholders.

This blog will host open discussion and news linked to our research group and our seminar series.
