Connecting ecosystems, communities, cultures, and economies for a healthy, thriving future.

We are an Indigenous-led, educational non-profit that supports Indigenous Peoples’ leadership and capacity in the establishment of IPCAs.

Our Purpose

Why IPCAs?

We believe Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCAs) are a powerful pathway for repairing and restoring balanced relationships with each other and with the Land. IPCAs help cultivate our shared responsibility for the places, people, and species whose health and well-being are interconnected.
