Strengthening responsibilities to face global crises: A call to ecologists, environmental scientists and their societies
Despite research and outreach efforts by ecologists and environmental scientists (EES), environmental crises continue to escalate. As a diverse group of concerned EES, we perceived a lack of clear guidance to articulate individual actions to improve sustainability. To address that gap, we propose ‘The Conguillío Statement on the values and responsibilities of ecologists’, a document summarizing values and responsibilities for EES in their differe…
Decision analysis rooted in Indigenous and Western scientific knowledge identifies cost‐effective strategies for managing hyperabundant deer to restore keystone places
The hyperabundance of herbivores—a result of altered human relationality with the land and the extirpation of predators—is leading to large‐scale degradation of keystone ecosystems across the globe. Designing and implementing socially acceptable and cost‐effective strategies that meaningfully reduce herbivore populations while allowing for the recovery of ecological function and cultural relationality is an inherently complex issue. As a result, …
Centering Indigenous Cultural Resurgence to Improve Ecological Restoration: Learnings from the Revitalization of Cultural Keystone Places of the Quw’utsun Peoples
Many places of ancestral and cultural importance to the Quw’utsun (Cowichan) Nation, have long been recognized by settlers as important contributors to biodiversity as habitat for rare and/or at-risk species and ecosystems. This recognition has resulted in numerous settler-led ecological restoration efforts of cultural keystone places such as Garry oak (Quercus garryana) meadows, Western red cedar (Thuja plicata) forests, and Pacific salmon (Onco…
Inclusive approaches for cumulative effects assessments
The cumulative impacts of human activities and natural disturbance are leading to loss and extinction of species, ecological communities and biocultural connections people have to those ecosystems. Exclusive and extractive western science methodologies often hinder the inclusion of Indigenous knowledge holders in cumulative effects assessments (CEAs), which can lead to regional conflict and ineffective assessment and management of cumulative effe…

Climate change vulnerability assessment of species
Assessing species' vulnerability to climate change is a prerequisite for developing effective strategies to conserve them. The last three decades have seen exponential growth in the number of studies evaluating how, how much, why, when, and where species will be impacted by climate change. We provide an overview of the rapidly developing field of climate change vulnerability assessment (CCVA) and describe key concepts, terms, steps and considerat…
Carbon farming via assisted natural regeneration as a cost-effective mechanism for restoring biodiversity in agricultural landscapes
