Examining Climate Change in the South Selkirks Region
From January 2010 to December 2011, Principal Investigator Dr. John Innes (University of British Columbia - UBC) and his multidisciplinary research team are examining climate change in the South Selkirks region of British Columbia (BC). Funded by the Future Forest Ecosystems Scientific Council (FFESC) and BC Hydro, this research study utilizes a holistic approach in addressing climate change - an approach that respects social and cultural, ecological and economic interests as a benchmark for forest management practices.
The research team is comprised of Aboriginal (Métis Nation British Columbia - Kootenays Region and Ktunaxa Nation), academia, Government of BC, Nature Conservancy of Canada (BC Region), forest industry representatives, non-profit organizations and consultants who specialize in natural sciences, social sciences and indigenous science.
