Wetlands have been identified as a priority for restoration on AQAM lands due to increasing heat, drought and wildfire risk. Enhancement and restoration of this critical habitat will benefit all living things. Restoring these wetlands will return it to a more natural state, help the community connect with nature, enhance the efficiency and function of ecological processes, enhance the biodiversity of plants and animals. With these changes, the aq¿amnik¿ community will use the land the same way that they once did such as collecting medicinal plants, hunting, fishing, and trapping.

Description (French)
La restauration des zones humides ont été identifiées comme prioritaires sur les terres d’AQAM en raison des risques croissants de chaleur, de sécheresse et d’incendies de forêt. L’amélioration et la restauration de cet habitat essentiel profiteront à tous les êtres vivants. La restauration de ces zones humides les ramènera à un état plus naturel, aidera la communauté à se connecter avec la nature, améliorera l'efficacité et le fonctionnement des processus écologiques, améliorera la biodiversité des plantes et des animaux. Avec ces changements, la communauté aq¿amnik¿ utilisera la terre de la même manière qu’autrefois, comme la collecte de plantes médicinales, la chasse, la pêche et le piégeage.
