Every day across the globe, environmental scientists are collecting approximately 274 terabytes of data, and that data is often collected or sampled from ecosystems that are stewarded by Indigenous peoples. In a new Perspectives piece in Nature Communications, a group of researchers called the Earth Data Relations Working Group provide recommendations for how research practices can improve the governance of Indigenous data.

North America’s Indigenous populations were large and well-organized a few hundred years prior to contact with Europeans, according to study.

A new review on zoonotic infections — diseases transmitted by animals — in the Canadian Arctic provides timely guidance to clinicians as the region experiences heightened global interest as well as climate change, which threatens the region and increases risk of disease transmission. The review, published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal) https://www.cmaj.ca/lookup/doi/10.1503/cmaj.240541, provides guidance on how to identify and manage seven zoonotic infections in people.
