Andrew is an ecologist whose research focuses on how long-term interactions between people and the environment shape biodiversity and livelihoods. From mountains to tundra to coastal temperate rainforests, this work focuses on Indigenous stewardship and plant ecology to understand ecosystem changes and what they mean for people living and harvesting resources in the area. Andrew’s work takes him to Nunatsiavut in northern Labrador, and to Heiltsuk and Wuikinuxv Territories in the Great Bear Rainforest on the Central Coast of British Columbia. Andrew also has a long history of partnering with Inuit, First Nations and local communities on knowledge co-production.
