Yellowknife, NWT

The March 2022 meeting had somewhat of a research focus, so an in-person meeting in November 2022 aimed to include more Indigenous voices and participation. Approximately 35 of us, including approximately half Indigenous observers, met in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories, with the aim of sharing the latest research and latest observations of local change and impacts associated with beavers.
Key thematic sessions included: Science, Indigenous Knowledge, Research Coordination, and Management of Beavers.

Meeting agenda and recordings will be uploaded at a later date.
We are bringing together Arctic researchers, Indigenous organization representatives, and those involved in beaver management to discuss beaver current Arctic research, find further routes to coproduction and collaboration, and discuss how management needs might be addressed.
