18th North American Caribou Workshop - May 2-5, 2021 - Québec City Convention Center

About

The North American Caribou Workshop (NACW) is a conference held every 2 years. This is a central event for sharing Indigenous knowledge, science and lessons learned, reporting on caribou status and discussing approaches to address key challenges to caribou conservation, management and recovery.

The NACW attracts high-level speakers and participants from North America and Europe. Whether they are biologists, researchers, representatives of Indigenous communities, resource managers, decision-makers or industry professionals, all participants aim to share knowledge, ideas and initiatives, and to discuss the challenges associated with the conservation of the caribou, an icon of northern ecosystems.

Through its plethora of conferences, presentations and plenary sessions, the NACW showcases the most advanced scientific knowledge, caribou population management and recovery initiatives, as well as a component on Indigenous traditional knowledge. It is an excellent opportunity to broaden one’s network and exchange with various key stakeholders.

Several organizations have come together to organize the NACW in Québec city, Canada, from May 2 to 5, 2021. A UNSECO World Heritage city, Québec’s capital will charm you with its rich history, exceptional architecture and renowned cuisine. The event will be held at the Québec City Convention Centre, an internationally renowned centre that stands out for its expertise, that is conveniently located near Old Québec.
