Indigenous Leadership Initiative

The beauty of Indigenous Protected Areas and Guardians programs is that they are a part of a conservation based economy, which is by design, a sustainable approach. Valérie Courtois shares how Indigenous Guardians programs and Indigenous Protected Areas can help Canada build a stronger, and a more sustainable economy and future.

The opportunity is clear. Valerie Courtois is not mincing words on why investing in and supporting IPCA’s and Guardians in a post-pandemic path creates economic opportunities, helps Canada meet conservation targets, and ensures future generations can live in a world rich in healthy lands and waters.

Les Premières Nations du Dehcho offrent un exemple concret de leadership sur le territoire. Investir dans les programmes des gardiens et dans les APCA permet de créer de bons emplois qui changent des vies, de bâtir des économies fortes et résilientes et de protéger les terres et les eaux dont nous dépendons tous.

The Dehcho First Nations are showing what leadership on the land looks like. If we invest in Guardians programs and IPCAs, we are investing in good jobs that change lives, build strong and resilient economies, and protect the lands and waters we all depend on.
