UNESCO Has Designated Pimachiowin Aki a World Heritage Site
For Immediate Release: UNESCO declares Pimachiowin Aki Canada’s first “mixed” cultural and natural WHS Unique First Nation/provincial government partnership wins new global status for “The Land That Gives Life” Manama, Bahrain: JULY 1, 2018: The UNESCO World Heritage Committee today inscribed the Pimachiowin Aki boreal forest spanning the Manitoba–Ontario boundary as a World Heritage Site, recognizing the outstanding universal value of both its cultural and natural features. The decision ends one journey for the four Anishinaabe First Nations who have worked through two previous nominations to achieve success, and the beginning of a new one for the Pimachiowin cultural landscape, home to Indigenous peoples for more than 7,000 years. Pimachiowin Aki is Anishinaabemowin (Ojibwe) for “the land that gives life.” A partnership of four Anishinaabe First Nations - Bloodvein River, Little Grand Rapids, Pauingassi and Poplar River – and the Manitoba and Ontario governments has worked with the government of Canada for more than a decade to achieve World Heritage status for this 29,040-sq. km expanse of boreal forest. “We always knew that Pimachiowin Aki was special and would become a World Heritage Site, and that the challenges that delayed our previous nominations would be overcome,” said Sophia Rabliauskas, Pimachiowin Aki spokesperson, who was at the UNESCO meeting to hear the decision announced. “But it was such a wonderful feeling to hear the words today and know that we can now devote all our efforts to preserving Pimachiowin Aki as a treasure for our peoples and the world, and I thank the governments and all the others who have supported us though every step,’ said Ms. -

Sustaining Canada's Boreal Forest
A brief from April 2015 Getty Images Sustaining Canada’s Boreal Forest A conservation success story from the nation’s North Overview If wild places are rich in solitude, then Canada’s vast boreal forest possesses wealth in abundance. This region, stretching from Yukon to Newfoundland and Labrador, is that increasingly rare place where stars illuminate a night sky unpolluted by ambient light, and where the loudest sounds are natural ones: the call of a lonely loon over a glass-clear lake or the wind whispering through snowy stands of spruce and tamarack. In the dark of winter, the aurora borealis splashes a brilliant palette of color on a canvas that spans the horizon. For its natural aesthetics alone, Canada’s boreal region is a wilderness that deserves protection. But the broader environmental value that this forest landscape adds to the planet makes its conservation a global imperative. The boreal’s natural wealth sustains hundreds of Canada’s Indigenous communities, whose inhabitants have lived in harmony with the forest for millennia. It also supports thousands of jobs and contributes billions of dollars to the Canadian economy. Protecting the long-term integrity of the boreal forest is critical to the sustainability and well-being of its communities, as well as the economic and ecological goods and services it provides. The challenge—and opportunity—lies in striking a balance between development and protection. Today, the boreal forest in Canada is one of the world’s most threatened ecosystems because of mounting demands for minerals, energy, timber, and water resources. Since 1975, more than 75 million acres have been logged.1 Despite these threats, however, governments, Indigenous peoples, conservationists, and businesses in Canada are taking important—even visionary—steps to protect this global treasure. -
