Episode 8: Learning about co-management from Nunavik, and a Makivvik perspective with guest Gregor Gilbert.

In this episode of the Co-management Commons podcast I am talking with Gregor Gilbert. Fresh off retirement with Makivvik Corporation. Gregor was involved with the Nunavik Marine Region Wildlife Board in its earliest set up days, and would later be involved in co-management through Makivvik Corporation. Throughout its history Makivvik has spoken on behalf of the Inuit of Nunavik in order to uphold the constitutionally protected rights of all Nunavimmiut.Enjoy the podcast.
