Learn About Indigenous Guardian Programs

Where are some established Indigenous Guardian programs?

Indigenous Guardian programs come in all shapes and sizes. An inventory of on-the-ground stewardship programs was done in 2015 where you can read about what some Indigenous Guardian programs are doing.

The Map of Indigenous Guardian programs is a powerful demonstration of the extent to which Indigenous communities are monitoring, protecting and stewarding their lands and waters through Indigenous Guardian programs.

The map is also a great way to find out more about who is doing what and where. If your community has an Indigenous Guardian program and isn’t on the map, please add your program!
