We are in a delicate time and place in the biosphere and in human evolution. We are trying to hold on to the life-giving values that sustain us. Indigenous Peoples nurture these values within our cultures and knowledge systems. The world needs our leadership now more than ever.

Gatherings of Indigenous Peoples across oceans and borders give me hope. We come away inspired and ready to join with like minded people to pull together in the same direction.

This is the beginning of the conversation. We will continue honouring our responsibility to the natural world by focusing on relationship and interdependence. Indigenous-led conservation is about a whole-systems approach. We don’t do this in silos.

Everything is connected. And our work must give effect to this understanding.
