Canada’s $3.8 BILLION 'Force of Nature' Strategy: The BIGGEST Indigenous-Led Conservation Effort EVER?!

Canada’s $3.8 BILLION 'Force of Nature' Strategy: The BIGGEST Indigenous-Led Conservation Effort EVER?!

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

In our Canadian news update for Earth Day, we are talking about Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new environmental strategy that will infuse billions of dollars into protecting Canada’s natural environment through funding Indigenous Guardian programs, creating dozens of new national protected parks and areas, and more. But there are critics with valid points of concern, which we attempt to address in this episode.

At the heart of Canada’s new Force of Nature strategy is something truly unprecedented in scale, and it’s not getting enough attention. These policies are not “values-driven”, abstract, idealistic promises—they are the building blocks of a paradigmatic shift seeking to restructure how Canada values our ecosystems and how Government culturally and politically relates to our land, water, and the people who have stewarded it for generations.
