Biography
Dr. Ryan Brook is the theme leader for Aboriginal Peoples and the Environment in the Indigenous Land Management Institute, and Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal and Poultry Science. He was raised in a farm east of Winnipeg.
Research Interest
His research program includes research on wildlife in grassland, prairie parkland, boreal forest, and arctic ecosystems such as feral pigs, elk, farmland moose, white-tailed deer, polar bears, and caribou. His research also addresses the disconnect that can exist between biophysical researchers and stakeholders and the general public by developing ways of incorporating local knowledge, traditional knowledge, and community-based monitoring into long-term research projects.
