Assessing environmental initiatives through an ecosystem stewardship lens

Stewardship has been increasingly used in the realm of conservation and sustainable land use as an important pathway for action. Ecosystem stewardship, a specific application of this concept, is an…

Resilience and Adaptation: Yukon River Watershed Contaminant Risk Indicators

The Yukon watershed provides a broadscale opportunity for communities to monitor the environment, manage resources, and contribute to stewardship policy formation, and creating a policy environment that encourages local experimentation and innovation contributes to resilience maintenance during development-imposed stress.

Transitions of social-ecological subsistence systems in the Arctic

Transitions of social-ecological systems (SES) expose governance systems to new challenges. This is particularly so in the Arctic where resource systems are increasingly subjected to global warming,…
