Beyond Conservation: A Toolkit for Respectful Collaboration with Indigenous People
This toolkit was created by the Indigenous Knowledge Circle of the NBCKC to support individuals and organizations seeking to learn how to do things differently, how to avoid repeating the mistakes of the past, and how to embed reconciliation into our conservation and stewardship work. We hope it helps you to advance genuine, respectful, and productive collaborations between Indigenous and non-Indigenous people and organizations working to protect and restore lands, waters, and all living beings.
IPCA Creation Guide
This guide aims to support Indigenous governments (First Nations, Métis, Inuit) to establish Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs). It includes key considerations, questions, and examples to assist Indigenous leadership in their visioning and planning. It offers some examples that are not specific to IPCAs but that might be helpful. This includes insights from the lived experiences of Indigenous Peoples.
