Landmark Indigenous-led Conservation Agreement in the Northwest Territories
The Government of Canada announced a significant Indigenous-led conservation initiative in the Northwest Territories. The 'Our Land for the Future Agreement' involves partnerships among Indigenous governments, the Northwest Territories, and private donors. The initiative aims to contribute over two percent of Canada's land and inland water toward a national conservation goal of 30 percent by 2030. This project emphasizes Indigenous leadership in stewardship, supporting biodiversity and economic opportunities through Indigenous Guardians initiatives and the creation of protected areas.
