Caribou are critically important to arctic ecosystems and human subsistence in Alaska and Canada, and caribou herds are subject to complex management regimes and harvest regulations amidst increasingly unpredictable climatic conditions. Collaborative stewardship of caribou advances science and improves management outcomes by integrating diverse perspectives, types of knowledge, and data sources. This travel award supports participation of Indigenous knowledge holders, wildlife biologists, and students in the joint meeting of the North American Caribou Workshop and Arctic Ungulate Conference in Anchorage, Alaska. Travelers will participate in a panel that advances collaborative stewardship of caribou and highlights how equitable participation of Indigenous and rural community organizations, biologists, and managers can improve outcomes for both humans and wildlife.Participants in the workshop, conference, and panel will explore the roles of Indigenous knowledge in caribou stewardship, thereby advancing caribou conservation and subsistence, and facilitating collaboration among Indigenous organizations, biologists, and managers. Student participants will gain experiential knowledge of the complexities of caribou management and a better understanding of the role of Indigenous knowledge in wildlife conservation. The PI team plans a peer-reviewed journal article that discusses the roles of rural and Indigenous communities and knowledge in wildlife management.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

驯鹿对于阿拉斯加和加拿大的北极生态系统和人类生存至关重要，在日益不可预测的气候条件下，驯鹿群受到复杂的管理制度和收获规定的约束。驯鹿的协作管理通过整合不同的观点、知识类型和数据源来推动科学发展并改善管理成果。该旅行奖支持土著知识持有者、野生动物生物学家和学生参加在阿拉斯加安克雷奇举行的北美驯鹿研讨会和北极有蹄类动物会议联席会议。旅行者将参加一个小组，该小组旨在促进驯鹿的协作管理，并强调土著和农村社区组织、生物学家和管理人员的公平参与如何能够改善人类和野生动物的成果。研讨会、会议和小组的参与者将探讨这些角色提高驯鹿管理方面的土著知识，从而促进驯鹿保护和生存，并促进土著组织、生物学家和管理人员之间的合作。学生参与者将获得有关驯鹿管理复杂性的经验知识，并更好地了解土著知识在野生动物保护中的作用。 PI 团队计划撰写一篇同行评审的期刊文章，讨论农村和土著社区的作用以及野生动物管理中的知识。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
