Exploring relational values of sociocultural and biophysical ecosystem services in Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas

A post-doctorate and consultant with the Pacific Institute at the University of Victoria, Dr. Gregg Brill will be working with Kristian Dubrawski to explore innovative financing solutions for Indigenous-led conservation initiatives and IPCAs through an ecosystem valuation approach. This project will explore how a variety of Indigenous Nations and governments benefit from and assign value to ecological services. Of particular interest, is the value of ecological services to IPCAs and how these values can contribute to the just and equitable governance and management of systems.
