How an IPCA would Sustain Boreal Abundance in the Seal River Watershed
How an IPCA would Sustain Boreal Abundance in the Seal River Watershed

As climate change and biodiversity loss approach a critical point, the Seal River Watershed offers a gift: an opportunity to sustain healthy lands at a sweeping scale. When finalised, the Indigenous Protected Area will be the largest land-based protected area in Canada. It will also support a new model of conservation – one led by and for Indigenous Nations – and contribute to global efforts to sustain biodiversity. It will ensure that habitats and peoples thrive, and thousands of caribou, millions of migratory birds and more are abundant for generations to come.

We still have a chance to protect these nesting grounds on a grand scale and give species the best chance of surviving into the future.

UN Report & Indigenous-led Conservation in the Boreal

It is exciting to see that in Canada’s Boreal Forest region, Indigenous governments are already working hard to do their part to conserve the land and its carbon stores—a vital part of slowing the impacts of climate change as described by the authors of this new IPCC report.
