Working Together to Protect Wildlife and Sacred Places
In the Northwest Territories, we're supporting Indigenous Nations and communities as they blend conservation science with traditional knowledge to advance large-scale protection and sustainable management.
Our Stories
Uniting Knowledge Systems
New tools integrate science and Indigenous knowledge to protect sacred places and caribou in the Northwest Territories.
Respectful Hunting and Knowledge Sharing
For the Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation, a community hunt and culture camp in Thaidene Nëné is an opportunity to harvest and share knowledge on the land.
Nahidik Research Expedition
In a program for Indigenous youth led by Nature United, Northern Youth Leadership and Arctic Research Foundation, students from the community of Łutsël K’é Dene sail aboard a research vessel on Tu Nedhé (also known as Great Slave Lake)—the deepest lake in North America and one of the world’s largest freshwater bodies.
Thaidene Nene: Largest Indigenous-Led Protected Land Area
In 2019, the Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation signed Establishment Agreements with Parks Canada and the Government of the Northwest Territories that marked a historic milestone for Thaidene Nëné. But the work didn't stop there. Today, Łutsël K’é is showing the world what is possible through Indigenous-led conservation.
