Science and Inuit Knowledge combined:
Light goose nesting areas near Arviat and Coral Harbour

1. Light goose nesting areas near Arviat, NU based on Inuit Knowledge and scientific data

Light goose (Snow and Ross’ Geese) nesting areas based on Inuit Knowledge were established by aggregating observations mapped by 20 participants from Arviat. Scientific data is obtained from aerial photography and visual surveys of light geese colonies conducted in 2008.

Coming soon.

2. Light goose nesting areas near Coral Harbour, NU based on Inuit Knowledge and scientific data

Light goose (Snow and Ross’ Geese) nesting areas based on Inuit Knowledge were established by aggregating observations mapped by 21 participants from Coral Harbour. Scientific data is obtained from aerial photography and visual surveys of light geese colonies conducted in 2008.
