AES researchers to play key roles in NFRF-T project

Professors Murray Humphries, Director of the McGill Centre for Indigenous Peoples’ Nutrition and Environment (CINE), and Treena Delormier and Hugo Melgar-Quinonez, both from the School of Human Nutrition, will play key roles in the NFRF-T project, Biodiversity Conservation and the Health and Well-being of Indigenous Peoples, led by the University of Alberta. In response to Canada’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission and recommendations of recent global assessments to rethink conservation, research will focus on communities and ecosystems under stress, where biodiversity has been lost, species are at risk, and where land-use conflicts and lack of government protections have created conditions of vulnerability.
