All Ways of Knowing through the Northern Ecosystem Initiative
The North is changing and the Northern Ecosystem Initiative (NEI) is working with Northerners to document, communicate and adapt to this change. The NEI was established by Environment Canada in 1998 to address issues that are emerging in the North as the climate changes and as resource development increases.
