Objective(s): To study community involvment in co-management decision making and its relationship to the sustainability of human-caribou interactions; to determine what factors influence community involvement in co-management, how these factors influence management outcomes, and how community members evaluate their involvment in co-management.
Project Description: The aim of this project is to analyze the participation of community members in decision-making for the purposes of co-managing the Porcupine caribou herd.
