Northern Ecosystem Initiative (NEI): Building Capacity and Delivering Results
The Northern Ecosystems Initiative (NEI) Phase II Report, 2003-2008 is part of NEI’s commitment to communicate results to the North’s local and science communities. This initiative was established by Environment Canada in 1998 to enhance the future health and sustainability of northern communities and the ecosystems they depend upon. Ecosystem Initiatives bring partners together to identify shared priorities and work cooperatively to address them. In Phase II, NEI continued to focus on the four broad priorities established in its first five years: climate change, contaminants, resource use activities and environmental monitoring. NEI has linked researchers and communities and helped bring together western science and traditional knowledge for a more complete understanding of northern ecosystems. This report provides examples of case studies as well as summaries of NEI projects.
