Pacific IPCA Innovation Centre

A legacy project of the Conservation through Reconciliation Partnership, the Pacific IPCA Innovation Centre will be a hub for gathering, testing, and advancing diverse ideas, knowledge systems, technologies, and approaches for Indigenous-led conservation that are emergent on the needs of Indigenous Nations as they navigate the establishment, management, and governance of IPCAs. Because cultural and linguistic revitalization are central to the founding and vision of IPCAs, the centre’s programmatic design will be rooted in Nuu-chah-nulth knowledge and teachings.

Programming of the Pacific IPCA Innovation Centre is being funded, in part, by the Canadian Mountain Network’s Knowledge Hub Program, with the IISAAK OLAM Foundation and Vancouver Island University as co-leads in addition to over a dozen founding partners including the CRP.
