Mile House, Canada Chilcotin Ark Institute Full time
Background

The Chilcotin Ark Institute is located in the South of the Chilcotin Ark in British Columbia, Canada. We are committed to creating a working landscape concept and management that sustains viable populations of species in the Chilcotin Ark. To do so we facilitate and conduct research, conservation projects and Evergreen Stewardship Plans in the Ark. Research and conservation projects include a variety of fields such as invasive species management, habitat management, wildlife studies, proposal writing and eco-tourism to educate guests about wildlife in the area. Our research centre and remote satellite research stations across the Chilcotin Ark are the ideal place to facilitate such projects. Further, we promote responsible resource and land management guided by the Evergreen Stewardship Plans. For this we encourage all entities and governments to take responsibility like the federal, provincial and regional government, First Nations, land owners, farmers, ranchers, guide outfitters, tourism operators, forestry and mining. The tool we use for measuring the success of our conservation efforts is to achieve maximum wildlife population numbers for the habitat s potential carrying capacity, this being the indicator for sustainable land management.
Our mission is to educate the public to become stewards of our wilderness environment, and we aim to accomplish this by developing environmental research and training programs in the fields of resource management and environmental stewardship.
