Congratulations to Drs. Jamie Snook, Ashlee Cunsolo, James Ford, and Sherilee Harper for their new systematic critical review titled: “The connection between wildlife co-management and indigenous well-being: What does the academic literature reveal?”. The review found that the co-management systems literature does not explicitly analyze co-management from the perspective of Indigenous health and well-being, but rather focuses on related social determinants of Indigenous Peoples’ health such as land and ecosystems, food systems and security, Indigenous knowledge systems, culture, self-determination, and colonialism. The absence of co-management research with a direct focus on Indigenous health raises questions about the risks to and prioritization of Indigenous well-being. The results of the review suggest that there are considerable opportunities to enhance co-management approaches to protect and improve the health and well-being of Indigenous communities.
Figure 1 from Snook et al., (2022) presents a synthesized list of twelve distal, intermediate, and proximal social determinants of health based on Indigenous perspectives, which was used as an analytical framework in the review.
