Abstract To achieve better biodiversity outcomes and match local governance capacity, cumulative effects assessment frameworks that combine Indigenous western knowledge to predict future development impacts on are needed. We developed a spatial future‐focused model informed by inclusive elicitation strategic foresight assess the regional of ecosystem health across land sea. collaborated with three First Nations Central Coast British Columbia, Canada, enabling priorities, values drive...
Abstract Loss of connectivity caused by anthropogenic barriers is a key threat for migratory freshwater species. The anadromous life history salmonids means that on streams can decrease the amount habitat available spawning and rearing. To set appropriate targets restoration, it important to know how different populations have been impacted in terms location extent historically has lost or become inaccessible. Using mapped predicted fish passage diking infrastructure, both floodplain linear...
Sumas Lake ( Xhotsa ), located in the Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada, was heart of Semá:th Nation Territory and epicenter a complex Indigenous food system. For people, lake represented life livelihood. In 1924, stolen drained an instance land theft that occurred during nationwide campaign dispossession genocide, decimating ecology supported rich diverse system replacing it with settler A century later, November 2021 climate change induced flooding caused to return, resulting...
Abstract Pacific salmon ( Oncorhynchus spp.) support coastal and freshwater ecosystems, economies cultures, but many populations have declined. We used priority threat management (PTM), a decision‐support framework for prioritizing conservation investments, to identify strategies that could thriving of wild over 25 years. evaluated the potential benefits 14 spanning fisheries, habitat, pollution, pathogens, hatcheries predation dimensions on 19 units (CUs)—genetically ecologically distinct...
Abstract Instream barriers remain ubiquitous threats to freshwater species and their habitats. Decisions regarding barrier removal are often aimed at maximizing habitat area connectivity for fish; yet can be challenging due the sheer number of barriers, uncertainty in presence, abundance, quality, as well limited budgets alongside high costs restoration. Here, we apply systematic conservation planning prioritize in‐stream restoring 14 populations wild Pacific salmon lower Fraser River,...
