正文(英文) | News release![]() March 6, 2020 – Ottawa, Ontario Conserving Canada’s natural heritage connects us all—and this is especially true for Indigenous communities in the North. For millennia, First Nations communities have thrived culturally and spiritually by living off the land and caring for it. That’s why the Government of Canada is helping to protect the land and water that play such a fundamental role in Tłı̨chǫ heritage and identity. Today, the Government of Canada announced its support for an important Indigenous conservation initiative in the Northwest Territories. Through the Canada Nature Fund, the Government is contributing $2 million to help conserve more than 22,000 km2 of land between Great Slave Lake and Great Bear Lake. Once complete, these two protected spaces—Gowhadõ Yek’e t’ii k’e and Tłı̨chǫ Nawoo Ké Dét’ahot’ìı —will be approximately twice the size of Cape Breton. These lands are a fundamental part of the Tłı̨chǫ heritage and identity. They include the Įdaà Trail, an ancestral trail that follows waterways and watershed areas. The Trail includes many of the best sites for traditional activities including hunting, trapping, fishing, and collecting plants used for medicine, and it occupies a central place in Tłı̨chǫ history and culture. The $2 million investment will assist the Tłı̨chǫ Government in
This conservation project represents reconciliation in action, as the Tłı̨chǫ Government and the Government of Canada are committing to recognizing the landscape as an “other effective area-based conservation measure” over the next three years. Maintaining this culturally significant land using Indigenous traditional knowledge will also help preserve and protect habitat for wildlife, including 16 species at risk like the boreal caribou, and will preserve known migration corridors for barren-ground caribou. The Government of Canada is working with partners to double the amount of protected nature in Canada’s lands and oceans by the end of 2020 and now has committed to going even further. The Government will bring forward a plan to conserve 25 percent of Canada’s lands and 25 percent of its oceans by 2025. The investment announced today will help Canada make progress on our 2025 target. Additional multimedia![]() ![]() Quotes
