Honoured to have joined Douglas Neasloss in this thoughtful, nuanced look by Future Ecologies podcast at the N American Model of Wildlife Conservation, including how Indigenous-led stewardship of grizzly bears illuminates an alternative, Decolonial model for relationships with other species.
The Kitasoo Xai’xais Nation in Canada’s Great Bear Rainforest declared a new MPA, #GitdisdzuLugyeks, that will act as a permanent safe haven for fish stocks & other marine life. This will help ensure the ecosystem preserved for the future. CoastalFirstNations Douglas Neasloss Blue Nature Alliance
Our coastal guardian watchmen program is one of the best in Canada. We recently got granted #BCParks authority for enforcing conservation measures—a Canadian first, and a huge step for #reconciliation. Thanks George Heyman and BC for the support.
