Disappointing to see the BC gov't saying that Indigenous-led conservation is the reason that the areas BC counts as protected may not be off-limits to industry

For many years, BC has used a number of flawed conservation measures which don't support biodiversity or communities

[CPAWS BC @CPAWSbc]

JUST ANNOUNCED: $1 billion for nature conservation in BC.

Powerful words of @terry_teegee of @BCAFN about the importance of First Nations being part of the decision-making processes in territories they've never ceded

Indigenous-led conservation is the path forward and needs to continue to be at the core of all plans going forward

Never before have the provincial and federal governments worked with First Nations on this scale - $1B for nature! #bcpoli #canpoli

[Tori Ball @Ball_Tori]

Action on species at risk, caribou and spotted owl are all mentioned by @JonathanWNV alongside the critical role of forests for climate and carbon as well as species.

This is why a $50M old growth fund and over $100M from 2B trees program 🌲 #natureagreement

This is such a tragedy. What a loss. She was haunted all her life. What a talent. I remember my first Grammy show meeting this small shy Irish girl. #Sinead #RIPSinead Sinead O’Connor Dead at 56 – Rolling Stone https://t.co/DPTd1tNmZT
