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.
NEW RESEARCH: ENGO FINANCIAL PRACTICES
New research from RAD Network, EcoAnalytics and Environics Research aims to help inform and guide Environmental NGOs (ENGOs) and funders on how to better align financial practices with their commitments to reconciliation. Read the report to learn about the progress and challenges in aligning ENGO financial practices with Indigenous leadership and community wisdom. Continued reflection, collaboration, and innovation will be essential to advancing relationship building opportunities with Indigenous communities, in pursuit of Reconciliation in the conservation sector.
