The Co-Management Commons website is a shared space for people involved in co-managing lands, waters, and wildlife—especially in northern Canada. It brings together Indigenous knowledge systems and scientific approaches to support collaborative conservation. The site includes resources like videos, reports, and a free online course focused on co-management practices, such as working together to protect polar bears. It’s designed to support learning, dialogue, and partnership between Indigenous Nations and governments in ways that respect Indigenous rights, governance, and relationships with the land.

Co‑management is when Indigenous communities and government agencies work together to make decisions about land, water, wildlife, or other shared resources. It combines Indigenous knowledge with scientific approaches and shares responsibilities, rights, and authority over managing these resources.
