Zoltan has worked for different community forests throughout British Columbia including the Klahoose First Nations on Cortes Island and the Cheslatta Carrier Nation near Burns Lake. He is now conducting research in the interest of conservation for both the university and the St’át’imc First Nations based in Lillooet, BC. In this project field site data and satellite imagery are being used to develop maps of the St’át’imc territory that chart the change in snow cover within the last 17 years. This snow mapping project will be used by the St’át’imc Government Services at their own discretion in order to manage for climate change, flood levels and wildlife including salmon, grizzly bears and mule deer. All three aforementioned species are vitally important to the St’át’imc people and neighboring territories, as either a source of life/food and/or inspiration/cultural identity. The completion of the snow cover products will then allow me to analyze how the mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus) has altered their migration routes and selection of winter range habitat according to the timing and distribution of snow conditions.
