Description
Book SynopsisIn Caring for Eeyou Istchee, Indigenous and non-Indigenous partners reveal how protected area creation presents a powerful vehicle for Indigenous stewardship, biological conservation, and cultural heritage protection.
Trade ReviewThis book expertly details what nature bureaucrats call a “new protected area paradigm,” according to which lands are “governed by and with Indigenous people," promoting "respect for [their] knowledge, values, collective tenure, stewardship, ... and management of biodiversity" (p. xii). -- B.
