Promotion and coordination of research, monitoring, and data management is one of the goals in the overall management plan. One of the proposed management actions in this area is: "Improving the collection, storage, and dissemination of data through the integration of inventories and condition assessments maintained by the partner agencies, and the development of agreements with researchers and information managers [...]" (State Party of Canada, 2016). Formal partnerships are being established at provincial and national levels to engage in research and monitoring for ecological and cultural values, including through participation in the National Indigenous Guardians Network; language, land use and place names research with academic institutions; and through data sharing agreements and exchanges (Pimachowin Aki Corporation, 2019).
