provisions of the Environmental Bill of Rights (EBR), the Ministry of Natural Resources has prepared a Statement of Environmental Values. This Statement of Environmental Values will consider the Environmental Bill of Rights whenever decisions are being made which might significantly affect the environment, including decisions made during this planning process for the Woodland Caribou Signature Site Management Plan. The primary purpose of the Environmental Bill of Rights is “to protect, conserve and, where reasonable, restore the integrity of the environment.” This broad statement of purpose translates into four objectives in the ministry’s Statement of Environmental Values: I To ensure the long-term health of ecosystems by protecting and conserving our valuable soil, aquatic resources, forests and wildlife resources, as well as their biological foundations I

  • Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes
    Zawadzka Temagami Area Rock Art 159 Beyond the Sacred: Temagami Area Rock Art and Indigenous Routes Dagmara Zawadzka The rock art of the Temagami area in northeastern Ontario represents one of the largest concentrations of this form of visual expression on the Canadian Shield. Created by Algonquian-speaking peoples, it is an inextricable part of their cultural landscape. An analysis of the distribution of 40 pictograph sites in relation to traditional routes known as nastawgan has revealed that an overwhelming majority are located on these routes, as well as near narrows, portages, or route intersections. Their location seems to point to their role in the navigation of the landscape. It is argued that rock art acted as a wayfinding landmark; as a marker of places linked to travel rituals; and, ultimately, as a sign of human occupation in the landscape. The tangible and intangible resources within which rock art is steeped demonstrate the relationships that exist among people, places, and the cultural landscape, and they point to the importance of this form of visual expression.

  • Comparative Analysis of Ecological and Cultural Protection Schemes Within a Transboundary Complex: the Crown of the Continent
    Comparative Analysis of Ecological and Cultural Protection Schemes within a Transboundary Complex: The Crown of the Continent A thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Community Planning In the School of Planning of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning by Keysha Fontaine B.S. University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2013 Committee Chair: Craig M. Vogel, MID Committee Advisor: Danilo Palazzo, Ph.D, M.Arch ABSTRACT Protected areas are critical elements in restoring historical wildlife migration routes, as well as, maintaining historical cultural practices and traditions. The designations created for protected areas represent a cultural and/or natural aspect of the land. However, designations for the protection of these resources fail to include measures to take into account the ecological processes needed to sustain them. Ecological processes are vital elements in sustaining cultural resources, because most cultural resources are the derivatives of the interactions with natural resources. In order to sustain natural resources, especially wildlife, the processes of fluctuating habitat change and migration are pivotal in maintaining genetic diversity to maintain healthy populations with the fittest surviving. The survival of the fittest species allow populations to have greater adaptability in the face of climate change. Currently in the Crown of the Continent (COC), several non-profit organizations are collaborating under an umbrella initiative, the Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative, to restore historical migration routes. The collaborators of this initiative performed ecological planning of the entire Yellowstone to Yukon region to identify impediments that may hinder wildlife movements.

  • Volume 7: the Boreal Forest TEACHING
    TEACHING KIT Volume 7: The Boreal Forest National Forest Week 2006: September 24 to 30 The Canadian Forestry Association is pleased to announce that after careful consultation and consideration, in 2006 National Forest Week will move from spring to fall. Based on a 100-year legacy of facilitating forest education, the CFA believes this new approach will spur increased year-round learning opportunities for interested Canadians. Trends show that early education is key to capturing and fostering the interest of youth towards volunteerism, higher education and careers in the forest and environmental sectors. Developing the forestry leaders of tomorrow is critical to ensuring sustainability of our natural resources and the socio-economic and health benefits they provide for all Canadians. Integral to this learning process is the Canada's Forests Teaching Kit series, which has become the cornerstone of CFA’s education and outreach initiatives. Available free to educators, these kits provide tools for helping youth better understand the value of forest resources and the importance of using them wisely. Beginning in 2006, the annual kit publication date will change to coin- cide with National Forest Week each September. This is in response to overwhelming feedback from teachers across Canada indicating a strong preference to receive these materials at commencement of the school year for increased and enhanced integration into teaching plans and other outreach activities. In keeping with tradition, I invite you to join the CFA in celebrating Canada’s forests — in September and year-round: plant a tree, walk through a forest or learn about forest management. Your local forestry association can provide more ideas, teaching materials and information about forest activities in your area.
