They have successfully quadrupled a caribou herd through habitat restoration and maternal penning, creating employment opportunities and fostering youth reconnection with land and culture. The Hub supports Indigenous-led efforts, empowering Guardians, restoration experts, and scientists to share knowledge and build capacity across communities, governments, and conservation groups.  Read the summary report Pacific Indigenous IPCA Innovation Centre CMN proudly supported the Pacific Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCA) Innovation Centre, a leader in conservation and cultural restoration across BC’s diverse landscapes.
