For many remote communities, the difference between being ready for wildfire & having to wait on emergency response can be dire. 🔥 So why not train Guardians? Watch one incredible story of how this made all the difference for Fort Good Hope. ✊ #LandNeedsGuardians

“If you want to heal, you go to the land. By creating this movement, I'm hoping that we're exposing youth to that power, to that healing, to that love, and to that hope.” As we observe #NationalTruthandReconciliationDay, we remember the legacy of our ancestors & look forward with hope by celebrating our strength & inherent relationship to the land. #EveryChildMatters

We need innovative solutions that will change our relationship to fire, rather than letting wildfire shape our landscapes, and our futures. Indigenous fire stewardship & Guardians are the key. #LandNeedsGuardians @VancouverSun https://t.co/YRMl2oV4bt

Celebrating one year since we assumed leadership of @borealconserve! Take a look at some of the highlights & how this was another step towards recognizing that Indigenous Peoples should be at the forefront of stewardship & conservation of their homelands.

Under @POTUS' leadership, we are protecting Alaska's precious landscapes that support Alaska Native subsistence lifestyles. These actions will ensure millions of acres are managed for the longevity of the people and wildlife that depend on them.

🚨🚨 The Biden administration just announced it’s protecting 13 million acres in the western Arctic from oil and gas drilling AND stopped the construction of Ambler Road!

This is a big win for Alaska Native communities, our wildlife, and our special places.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

This week, we followed through on my promise to protect more than 13 million acres of lands in the Western Arctic from drilling.

And we’re exploring safeguards that would stop Ambler Road from carving a 211-mile path through one of the most remote and special places in the U.S.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

America’s natural wonders and public lands are our nation’s heart and soul.

Here's the latest on my Administration's work to fight like hell to protect them:

So sorry! 🚮
