One of the goals of our Environment program’s Carbon Landscapes initiative is to increase the level of public awareness and understanding about Indigenous-led conservation. Through support for in-depth research, reporting, and engaging coverage, we help to shed light on the issues, people, and communities involved in this work.

Spirits of Place, a special series produced by The Narwhal and funded by Metcalf and MakeWay, explores the many ways Indigenous communities and Nations are enacting their responsibilities to their lands, waters, and future generations — big and small, ancient and new, independently and in partnership — and what those efforts mean for all of us. Featured below are stories from the series.
