The Tracking Change… research program has developed over the last four years to advance knowledge through community-university research activities in the Mackenzie River Basin with emerging projects in the lower Mekong River Basin (Mun River) and in the lower Amazon Basin (Tapajos River). Every two years, project participants from across the three watersheds gather at the Global Knowledge Symposium to share experiences, observations and ideas. This year’s Global Knowledge Symposium was held in New York City in conjunction with United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII)18 because of the alignment of the project to the theme of the 2019 Forum which was “Traditional Knowledge: Generation, Transmission, and Protection”.
