[1] She builds government-to-government partnerships between federal agencies and tribal governments to carry out research and restoration projects that combine traditional ecological knowledge with Western science, or Two-Eyed Seeing.
[4] For her dissertation she studied trophic cascades, the top-down effects that the eating habits of apex predators, such as wolves, have on the whole ecological community.
The book examines the conservation status of six threatened carnivore species—wolves, grizzly bears, lynx, wolverines, cougars, and jaguars—highlighting their crucial role in ecosystems.
It advocates for a continent-wide conservation initiative designed to facilitate the movement of large predators throughout the Rocky Mountain region, spanning from Mexico to Alaska.
The aims of the project are to manage a healthy prairie using traditional ecological knowledge braided with Western science, or Two-Eyed Seeing, and to empower the local Native community.
[2][10] In 2024 Eisenberg co-led a team of forty Indigenous and non-Indigenous forestry scientists and experts in reviewing the state of US forests, an initiative of the White House.
The team prepared a report outlining strategies for better long-term stewardship of US forest lands, including incorporating traditional ecological knowledge practices.
The report signals a shift toward structuring forest management policy according to more diverse worldviews in order to better address effects of climate change.
