This is the official website of the Restore, Assert, Defend (RAD) Network. The RAD Network works with Indigenous communities “to restore relationships and Indigenous knowledge systems, assert Indigenous rights and responsibilities, and defend lands and waters.” The network includes Indigenous leaders, Knowledge Carriers, Guardians, and supporters who are committed to a collective goal of decolonized and regenerative Indigenous-led conservation.

The RAD Network’s aim is to foster sustainability and abundance within Indigenous-led nature and climate initiatives, including providing financial support to realize community and conservation aspirations. Through cooperative efforts, mutual learning, and reciprocity, they strive to facilitate connections among Indigenous Nations and communities, providing essential resources and assistance for the advancement of Indigenous-led conservation, including initiatives such as Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs) and nature-based solutions.
