In #Canada, the boreal forest teems with #biodiversity. It's home to 85 species of mammals alone #Indigenous Peoples have taken care of this land for generations "We've been managing that land so that future generations can always use it" —@StevenNitah

I don’t believe it. First Nations does not promote or provide a solid base for conservation or habitat. They use traditional methodology not science, there’s a difference.

Respectfully we firmly disagree. Indigenous PPls and local communities have detailed knowledge re. biodiversity & ecosystems. They're often better placed than scientists to provide info on local biodiversity & enviro change & are key contributors to governance of biodiversity.

Study sees positive impact on biodiversity when managed by Indigenous and Native Peoples in #Canada, #Australia & #Brazil. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…. Is it a stretch to argue for expanding rights, as evidence grows that ecosystem disturbance enables emergence of new pathogens?
