Evaluating Co-management Arrangements for Conservancies in the Territory of the Metlakatla First Nation
This study examines the co-management arrangements between the Metlakatla First Nation and the Province of British Columbia, with a specific focus on the implementation of co-management within the new “conservancy” designation. First introduced as a protected area in British Columbia in 2006, the co...
