Description (French)
Cette contribution soutient la mise en œuvre continue du Programme de conservation de Pituamkek durant l’été et l’automne 2025, une initiative dirigée par les Autochtones et axée sur la surveillance écologique et la gestion de la nouvelle réserve de parc national. S’appuyant sur les ententes de contribution précédentes, ce programme de type « Gardiens » renforce le lien au territoire, les savoirs culturels et les capacités de conservation par des activités saisonnières et un leadership communautaire. Au cœur de cette démarche se trouve l’intégration des savoirs traditionnels mi’kmaq, qui orientent les pratiques de conservation et enrichissent la compréhension culturelle et écologique du territoire.
