Chilcotin Ark Institute

The Chilcotin Ark Institute conducts research, conservation and stewardship projects in the Chilcotin Ark. We use the recommendations of the Evergreen Stewardship Plans as our guidelines in all the conservation work that we do. We are involved in data collection and analysis, stakeholder engagement, wildlife and habitat enhancement projects, land and resource management.

We conduct and implement a variety of participatory action research projects to ensure the conservation of nature and wilderness in the Chilcotin Ark and British Columbia in general. Our research is used as a tool to understand problems and, most importantly, to take action for solving them. Instead of just delivering a research report, the results of our participatory action research trigger stakeholder engagement, actions and communal change in land-use practices for wildlife and their habitats.
