"Carbonidée" Panel
Research-Indigenous collaboration to combat climate change and biodiversity loss
The native territories of Quebec's boreal forest are home to some of the last large tracts of old-growth forests south of the northern limit, ecosystems rich in biodiversity that have been storing large quantities of carbon for hundreds of years. Concerned about the fate of these last unmanaged forests, several Indigenous communities and research teams are collaborating to assess the role of conserving carbon-rich ecosystems in combating climate change and protecting biodiversity. In this panel discussion, participants from the Indigenous and research communities demonstrate how collaboration offers great opportunities to address the multiple crises facing forest ecosystems and the communities that depend on them.
The four panelists will be:
- Marie-Ève Roy - Biologist and Postdoctoral Fellows at ISFORT-UQO.
- Louis De Grandpré - Forest Ecology Researcher, Territory and Resources Sector, Conseil des Innus de Pessamit , Associate Professor, Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) and Associate Researcher at CFR.
- Éliane Grant - Wildlife Biologist, Grand Council of the Crees (Eeyou Istchee)/Cree Nation Governement and lecturer at UQAT.
- Benoit Croteau - Territory and Environment Director, Abitibiwinni First Nation Council.
They will be moderated by Nicolas Mainville , Conservation and Climate Director at Canadian Parks and Wilderness Society (CPAWS Quebec).
This event, free and open to the general public, will take place in the Grande Salle of UQO's Alexandre-Taché Pavilion (Gatineau) on May 1st at 7:00 p.m., following the Happy Hour. Come one, come all!
