The Tripartite Framework Agreement on Nature Conservation is a collaborative, non-binding accord between the Government of Canada, the Government of British Columbia, and the First Nations Leadership Council (FNLC), representing the BC Assembly of First Nations, First Nations Summit, and Union of BC Indian Chiefs. The Agreement aims to establish a cooperative framework for ecosystem health and biodiversity conservation across British Columbia, grounded in reconciliation and the recognition of Indigenous rights and leadership. The Agreement acknowledges the urgent need to address biodiversity loss and climate change through nature-based solutions and transformative actions. It emphasizes the importance of Indigenous stewardship, knowledge systems, and decision-making authority in conservation efforts. The Parties commit to a distinctions-based approach that respects the unique rights and circumstances of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit peoples. Key goals include protecting terrestrial areas by 2030, enhancing ecosystem resilience, restoring degraded habitats, and improving the status of species at risk. It also establishes a Tripartite Nature Committee to coordinate implementation and encourages the development of subcommittees and working groups.
