Indigenous Governments, the Government of Canada, the Government of the Northwest Territories, and private philanthropies have signed a historical framework for one of the largest Indigenous-led conservation efforts in the world. This marks an incredibly significant moment for Indigenous-led conservation in Canada. Centring Indigenous leadership, the NWT Project Finance for Permanence will fund the protection of lands, support thriving cultures, and foster economic diversification across the Northwest Territories.

🌱 Honoring Indigenous Peoples' Day 🌍 At BayCAN, we acknowledge and celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, histories, and contributions of Indigenous peoples, not just in the Bay Area but across the world this #IndigenousPeoplesDay. As we work towards advancing equitable climate adaptation and resilience in our beloved Bay Area region, it's imperative that we center Indigenous voices and honor the deep relationships Indigenous communities have with the land and their histories of stewardship that have created the landscapes we now call home. Today is a reminder that cultivating meaningful partnerships and collaboration with Indigenous peoples takes time and dedication. 🌏🌿 You can support the efforts of Indigenous nations and communities in your area by donating resources, educating yourself and others, volunteering to help advance rematriation efforts, or otherwise centering Indigenous communities in your work. Let us remember that the fight against climate change is also a fight for environmental justice, cultural preservation, and the sovereignty of Indigenous nations. Here in the Bay Area, there are many active Tribes and Tribally-serving organizations to support. While several are listed at the below links, there are many more around our region, so we can all benefit from spending some time to understand how we can support the priorities of the Tribes or Indigenous communities on whose land we live.

Celebrating 7 years of unwavering commitment! In the vast landscapes of the Northern Territory, rich in both natural beauty and cultural significance, Aboriginal communities and their dedicated ranger groups have long been guardians of the land and sea. The Northern Territory Government's unwavering commitment to this cause, now in its seventh year, underscores a deep dedication to preserving the unique heritage of the NT. This commitment, starting with a $12.1 million investment in 2017-18 and growing to $11.9 million for the following four years, manifests as crucial support for Aboriginal rangers. Through capital grants and initiatives like the Land and Sea Management Fund (LSMF) and the INPEX Australia Ichthys LNG Coastal Offset program, the government is fostering a powerful collaboration between traditional knowledge and modern science, ensuring effective land and sea management. Recent initiatives reflect a broader vision, with a focus on gender equity and Indigenous-led protection. The Yanyuwa sea country planning and management program and the Strong Women for Healthy Country Mentorship Support program are notable examples. These projects not only address urgent issues threatening sea country but also spotlight the essential role of Indigenous women mentors in remote communities. As the government continues its unwavering support, Aboriginal rangers stand empowered to preserve their cultural heritage and ensure a sustainable future for the Northern Territory.
