Canada has set ambitious targets to protect biodiversity, which some say can only be reached by working with Indigenous peoples
Indigenous leaders are hoping COP15 will be an opportunity to showcase how Indigenous-led conservation can be at the heart of a new global biodiversity agreement.
Protected areas in Canada sit at about half of those levels. And if the country has any hope of reaching those goals, it lies in working with Indigenous peoples, says Tyson Atleo, Natural Climate Solutions Program director with Nature United, the Canadian affiliate of U.S.-based environmental group, the Nature Conservancy.
Three large-scale IPCAs have been finalized since 2018, says a November update from the Indigenous Leadership Initiative , a group that works with Indigenous communities on land use plans. Both British Columbia, in 2019, and the federal government, in 2021, have passed legislation to implement UNDRIP.
“The global community is catching up to Indigenous ambitions,” ILI director Valérie Courtois said during the media briefing, adding that Canadian examples show the benefits of Indigenous-led land planning.
