Enhance, upgrade, and create new forest monitoring programs. Using a combination of traditional knowledges, traditional practices, and western techniques, enhancing, upgrading, creating, and implementing a multi-faceted monitoring program can help track the current health of the forests and see how it is responding to changing climate conditions. This may include: tracking location, distribution, and movement of invasive species; conducting biodiversity surveys to describe current baseline conditions and manage distribution shifts; and conducting surveys that estimate populations and distribution of selected plant and animal species. This type of monitoring can both use new technologies and be multi-generational and provide opportunities to get the younger generations out in and interacting with the forests.
