EXECUTIVE SUMMARY — Tribal Parks and Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas: Lessons Learned from B.C. Examples

We travelled to communities in B.C. that are establishing Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas to share lessons learned.

Indigenous Peoples across Canada are taking a leadership role in protecting places that are essential to them and securing spaces where they can actively practice Indigenous ways of life.

This is the summary of a report that builds on important foundational work including a recent report completed by the Canadian Indigenous Circle of Experts, We Rise Together: Achieving Pathway to Canada Target 1 through the creation of Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas in the spirit of practice and reconciliation.
