    Description
    Description

    A team of Indigenous organizations, governments, university researchers, and other resource people working together on research and action in support of the health and well-being of the environment and people. Arramat is working to strengthen Indigenous voices and capacities to document their knowledge about the importance of the whole environment (including biodiversity) to the health and well-being of their communities.

    Expected Impact

    -culturally appropriate frameworks for defining and describing the interconnections between biodiversity and health-wellbeing;
    -indicators and methods for tracking and interpreting patterns, trends and tipping points in biodiversity and health-wellbeing;
    -model innovations and solutions for biodiversity conservation and care of people in hot-spot regions;
    -actionable ‘design principles’ for strengthening holistic governance of biodiversity and health-wellbeing
    relevant at local-global scales

    Partners

    Indigenous gouvernements and organizations globally, Academic institutions, provincial (Alberta) and national government in Canada, FAO, WHO, UNFPII
