Each governance model falls into one of the following four categories, outlined by the Indigenous Circle of Experts in their report, We Rise Together:

IPCA is governed by Indigenous Nation/Government

IPCA is governed primarily by Indigenous Nation/Government in partnership with Crown government (eg. Federal/Provincial/Territorial agencies)

IPCA is governed primarily by Indigenous Nation/Government in partnership with a non-governmental organization*

IPCA is governed primarily by Indigenous Nation/Government in partnership with a mix of Crown agencies and non-governmental organizations*

Content: This resource is intended for Indigenous Nations and governments who are interested in or currently engaged in the creation of an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area (IPCA) or other Indigenous-led conservation initiatives.
This resource provides a snapshot of how Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCA) and other Indigenous-led conservation initiatives are being governed across Canada to date.

The journeys of IPCAs are evolving. We want to emphasize that IPCAs symbolize not only what has been accomplished and what currently exists, but also what is possible. We look forward to including additional innovative pathways to Indigenous self-determination and conservation leadership to this resource as more governance examples and stories are documented and shared.

Each IPCA or Indigenous-led initiative example includes information on the governance structure, decision-making processes, laws, management planning, and alliances and partnerships that help to govern and care for the lands, waters, and species in each territory.
