Mulrennan, M.E. and V. Bussières. 2020. Indigenous Environmental Stewardship: Do mechanisms of biodiversity protection align with or undermine it? In Turner, N.J. (ed) Plants, People and Places: the Roles of Ethnobotany and Ethnoecology in Indigenous Peoples’ Land Rights in Canada and Beyond. Chapter 17, 282-312. Montreal: McGill-Queens Press.
This chapter traces the growth in recognition of the link between biological and cultural diversity over the past thirty years — from the highly significant but narrow legal and technical recognition given to the knowledge of traditional peoples in the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), to recent, far-reaching initiatives that support more integrated recognition of Indigenous rights, governance arrangements, and legal possibilities. This includes initiatives that address Indigenous conserved areas and the rights of Nature as a legal entity. Access here: https://www.mqup.ca/plants--people--and-places-products-9780228001836.php
