Detalles del proyecto
| Nombre | Restoring forest health at Kluane National Park and Reserve |
| Descripción | Fire is a necessary, natural process for rejuvenating and creating diversity within Kluane’s boreal forests. A severe fire deficit and a degraded forest ecosystem exists on the Kluane landscape, possibly influenced by various policies of the previous century enacted to suppress natural fire and remove Indigenous fire practices. A massive Spruce Bark Beetle infestation from the 1990s-2000s killed nearly half of the mature trees in approximately 49,000 ha of impacted Kluane forests. Climate change exposure and other stressors may further reduce the capacity for Kluane forests to adapt to and absorb change. The exclusion of fire in Kluane could contribute to unintended consequences, including the potential for catastrophic wildfire and irreversible ecosystem shifts. To increase the resilience and reduce the fire deficit, Parks Canada will restore fire to Kluane by 2025. Approach: — Partner with Champagne and Aishihik First Nations (CAFN) and Kluane First Nation (KFN), and collaborate with Natural Resources Canada, Canadian Forest Service – Northern Forestry Centre (Edmonton). — Investigate multiple lines of evidence to better understand the historic forest disturbance regime. — Analyze aerial photos and satellite imagery and stand origin mapping; conduct field research using dendrochronological methods; analyze existing Parks Canada forest monitoring plot data; conduct literature and archival reviews; research oral history and traditional knowledge, and CAFN and KFN archives; engage with local stakeholders. — Produce a better understanding of the role that fire and other disturbances have played in the functioning of Kluane’s forested ecosystems. — Understand the impact of wildfire suppression policies and colonial laws that excluded First Nations occupation and use of the land. — Work together with CAFN and KFN to determine the appropriate restoration efforts to bring fire back onto Kluane’s landscape through actions such as prescribed burn trials, cultural burns, and/or other restoration efforts. These will be aimed at strengthening the ecological resilience of the forested landscape and will continue to promote CAFN and KFN reconnection to the Park.
