Efforts by UVic geographer Dr. David Chuenyan Lai directly resulted in Victoria’s Chinatown being restored and celebrated, rather than demolished.
The Stephens Family Undergraduate Research Award in Organic and Sustainable Food Systems gave Riley the means to expand the scope of her project from a rain catchment system to a
water conservation initiative with lasting benefits to community partner Woodwynn Farms.
Three UVic researchers have been awarded a total $935,000 in federal funding to study the impact of underwater noise on endangered southern resident killer whales and the chinook
salmon they depend on for almost 80 per cent of their diet.
Addressing gaps in Indigenous health data and assessing susceptibility to bacterial infections are the goals of two UVic projects recently awarded funding by the Canadian
Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
A new scholarly opinion paper by Chris Darimont and four other conservation scientists explores how wildlife population sizes, trends and associated policies reported by some
governments lack supporting evidence. Darimont also recently published a related opinion letter in the journal Nature.
