Course Overview
This is the second of two courses exploring the integration of Indigenous peoples' values and traditional knowledge into ecological restoration practice. This course will explore how the traditional knowledge and engagement of local communities, in particular Indigenous peoples, is fundamental to the successful management, implementation, and monitoring of ecological restoration projects. Lectures, group discussions, and case studies will be used to review ethical conduct and protocols for working within Indigenous communities. Techniques to communicate with Indigenous community rightsholders in an effective and respectful manner will be reinforced and integrated into a communication and engagement plan.
