Reconceptualizing and Reclaiming Cumulative Effects Assessment and Management Through Differing Ways of Knowing
The consideration of Indigenous Knowledge systems in the management of natural resources is growing in Canada to meet legal requirements, fill gaps in knowledge, and improve reconciliation with Indigenous peoples.
