"Indigenous protected areas in principle have existed as long as Indigenous
Peoples have. But their recent iteration of being known as Indigenous Protected
and Conserved Areas, more commonly called IPCAs, goes back to 2018. That’s when
the federally funded Indigenous Circle of Experts published a report on how
Indigenous-led conservation could be undertaken and how that could help Canada
reach its United Nations commitments on climate change and conservation.
Indigenous Peoples lead conservation and stewardship within Indigenous
protected areas, in accordance with their own priorities and laws.
Since then, the idea has taken off.
But there are more proposals coming from First Nations than the slow wheels of
government can keep up with. Mamalilikulla First Nation didn’t wait for buy-in
from other levels of government. Instead, they established the protected area
according to their own laws and their constitutionally recognized Indigenous
Rights. The nation invited the province and federal governments to join them in
co-governance."
