First Nations Species at Risk Dialogues

The IISAAK OLAM Foundation and the Assembly of First Nations (AFN) are inviting all First Nations persons who have experience with monitoring, harvesting, and managing species at risk (SAR) and cultural keystone species (CKS) to join a discussion about First Nations’ approaches to protection and conservation. The AFN is the national organization representing First Nations people in Canada.

The sessions will be an opportunity to learn and share experiences about protecting species and places in an environmentally and culturally meaningful way, planning for abundance, and transforming existing Crown policies and processes around species management.
