"Indigenous peoples in Canada have been environmental stewards of their
traditional land, ice, and water and are the original leaders in sustainable
development and natural resource management. That is why the Government of
Canada is committed to working in partnership with First Nations, Inuit, and
Métis to support Indigenous leadership in conservation.
Today, the Honourable Steven Guilbeault, Minister of Environment and Climate
Change, announced approximately $66 million in funding to support 42
Indigenous-led conservation projects across the country. These projects aim to
conserve more land that will support Canada’s area-based conservation targets.
The Indigenous-Led Area-Based Conservation initiative provides funding to
Indigenous peoples to lead, or co-lead, projects to establish protected areas
or recognize Other Effective area-based Conservation Measures, many of which
may lead to the creation of Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas."
