Porcupine Caribou Management Board
ABEKS contributes Porcupine Caribou Herd and weather data to the PCMB every year to consider when they are making decisions about the herd. Co-management boards are tasked with gathering data and conducting their own research to support decision making that includes many perspectives. Check out their website for updates on harvest management, herd status and other information about the Porcupine Caribou Herd.
Gwich'in Renewable Resrouce Board
The GRRB is the main instrument of wildlife, fish and forest management in the Gwich'in Settlement Area (GSA). This co-management board administers the Wildlife Studies Fund, which supports the work that ABEKS does. Funds are used to pay monitors and interviewees each year.
Compendium of Current Research & Monitoring
This compendium includes research and monitoring activities throughout the Yukon Territory. ABEKS can be found under the "Environment" tab.
Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada
COSEWIC is an independent advisory panel to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change Canada and meets twice yearly to assess the status of wildlife species at risk of extinction. ABEKS has been a source of information for them on Grizzly bears and wolverine.
Indigenous & Northern Affairs Canada
ABEKS has a 3-year funding agreement to 2021 through the Indigenous Community-Based Climate Monitoring Program. Check it out here.
"While interest in community-based monitoring (CBM) is growing, there has been little coordination of initiatives at a circumpolar level. The Atlas of Community-Based Monitoring in a Changing Arctic was initiated as a task of the Sustaining Arctic Observing Networks (SAON) to help address this gap."
