Weaving wildlife sciences and Indigenous Knowledge

Exploring, understanding, and valuing unique perspectives to enhance harmony between people, animals, and the land

Welcome !

   My name is Léna Bureau,  I'm a French PhD student at McGill University in Montreal and I’m currently working on the methodological aspects of knowledge co-production in Arctic  and sub-Arctic wildlife research.  My research focuses on weaving Indigenous and Scientific Knowledge to document the impact of climate change on wildlife and their critical habitats in the Nunavut, The Inuvialuit and Eeyou Istchee regions in Canada. I am doing this PhD in the Northern Wildlife Knowledges Lab led by Professor Murray Humphries and co-supervise by Dr. Dominique Henri.

       Before embarking on this interdisciplinary PhD journey, I worked as a behavioral biologist for several research organizations, including the French Polar Institute in the Southern Antarctic Islands of Kerguelen and the Kalahari Meerkat Project in South Africa.
