Thaidene Nëné: Conservation in the spirit of Reconciliation
Announced on August 21st, 2019, Thaidene Nëné is Canada’s newest national park and protected area. Thanks to the leadership of Łutsël K’e Dene First Nation, 26,376 sq km of boreal forest, caribou grounds and clean waters in the NWT are now protected for future generations!
Thaidene Nëné is a new model of conservation, one that shows what can be achieved when Indigenous and Crown governments work as equal partners in stewardship, and will bring Canada closer to the goal to protect 17% of lands by 2020.
