We had a great turnout for our #ICCB2025 pre-congress workshop on Sunday! It was fantastic to see a diversity of participants bringing together their perspectives on who and what can be influenced by conservation initiatives, and how.

β€œBears are like family”: Indigenous insights on human-polar bear coexistence Our entire project started with a cup of tea. Through storytelling, our coauthors share how braiding methodologies from Indigenous ways of knowing and social sciences helped us gather knowledge to inform inclusive research and polar bear management strategies.

Katharina Miller, Dominique Henri and Michael Lickers write a Behind the Paper post about their research in Communications Earth & Environment that explores how Indigenous communities in Canada have coexisted with polar bears and what the future holds for these communities. πŸ§ͺ
