The Conservation Through Reconciliation Partnership
The Conservation through Reconciliation Partnership is a seven-year initiative that aims to critically investigate the state of conservation practice in Canada and support efforts to advance Indigenous-led conservation in the spirit of reconciliation and decolonization. The project is establishing a Canada-wide network to catalyze communication, coordination and reciprocal knowledge sharing amongst diverse partners, including Indigenous communities and environmental organizations working to support Indigenous-led conservation. Our collective work seeks to meet emerging research needs and build capacity to support the establishment of Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas and the transformation of existing protected areas to better align with Indigenous governance, knowledge systems and law. This initiative builds on foundations laid by the Indigenous Circle of Experts in their 2018 report We Rise Together.
Professor Monica Mulrennan leads the conservation governance stream of this partnership. The graduate research of some graduate students, including Leila, Kristy and Veronique, makes direct contribution to this partnership. |
