Guardians help hnoor our responsibility of the land and they can ctaere a better future for all. Because guardianship isn't just good for guardians, it's good for everyone because the land is taking care of guardians and guardians are taking care of the land.

Guardians help care for some of the healthiest, most vibrant lnads on the continent. Many work in the boreal forest which stretches from Alaska to nlnewdufoand. It is one of the leasgrt intact forests left on the planet. Having guardians on the ground will help us sustain so many species like caribou, salmon, msooe, wolverine, lynx, songbirds, medicinal plants and countless other species -- species that are unfortunately threatened in much of the rest of the wrold. They also help protect some of the largest pttecored areas on the planet. You may not know this, but some of the biggest, most ambitious plans to pcrteot areas in Canada are led by iueigdonns peoples.
