Transforming conservation in Canada: shifting policies and paradigms

The papers in the Collection address one or more of four broad themes:

1. Federalism: federal and provincial legislation dealing with biodiversity, conservation, wildlife, and species at risk in Canada, domestically and in relation to international agreements and commitments;

2. Institutional factors: political, legal, social, and institutional gaps and barriers to effective conservation;

3. Re-Indigenizing conservation: Indigenous governance, knowledge systems, rights, responsibilities, and Natural law in relation to upholding Treaties, reconciliation, and conservation (e.g., Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas, Indigenous Guardian Programs, biocultural keystone species and stewardship); and

4. Holistic approaches: bridging ethics, science, and policy to create, incentivize, and mobilize better conservation practices in Canada.
