We are a growing network of Indigenous leaders, Knowledge Carriers, Guardians and allies working toward a shared vision for decolonized and regenerative Indigenous-led conservation. Together, we seek to bring sustainability and abundance to Indigenous-led nature and climate solutions, in part through financing to support community and conservation visions. Through collaboration, co-learning and reciprocity, we seek to connect Indigenous Nations and Communities to the resources and tools needed to advance Indigenous-led conservation such as Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs) and nature-based solutions.

Envisioning the Indigenous-led Conservation Economy
The report below, Envisioning the Indigenous-led Conservation Economy, presents our vision for the RAD Network. The report was collaboratively developed as an outcome of our April 2023 gathering on Wolastoqiyik Territory at St. Mary’s First Nation, Sitansisk.
