There is so much lousy environment news that it is easy to get discouraged, especially for me writing this Groundling blog. I was happy to hear of yet another area protected by the Canadian federal government this week. This massive park (926,376 square kilometres), is called Thaidene Nene, or Land of Our Ancestors, and as the name suggests this will be a partnership with Lutselk'e Dene and the area will be co-managed.
Apparently it is a region of considerable natural beauty where hunting and fishing will still take place while it is protected from mining and other development.
Indigenous peoples are often willing to speak of the land as a gift from their ancestors and the Creator. We can learn from their example and celebrate what has happened in protecting this pristine area.
