Instructor, Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas Planning

2 weeks ago

Nanaimo, Canada Vancouver Island University Full time

**Instructor, Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas Planning**:
The Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCA) Planning Advanced Certificate addresses the need for a comprehensive and holistic program relating to the protection and conservation of the lands and waters across Canada, and contributes to the development of a network of IPCA certified professionals who will play a critical role in Canada's achievement of the 30% by 2030 goal.

Students who graduate from this program will have an advanced knowledge of the meaning and purpose of IPCAs, will be able to distinguish between western land use planning and regulatory approaches and Indigenous practices and world views. Critical to this will be understanding of the concepts and values relating to reciprocity and responsibilities. Over six courses, students will: gain an understanding of the roles of IPCAs in biodiversity conservation, cultural regeneration, reconciliation, and community-based conservation economies; learn about the jurisdictional, legal, and policy contexts for IPCAs in BC, Canada, and internationally, and identify different governance arrangements and management models for IPCAs; and will investigate the use of new approaches and tools for achieving targets of the United Nations Convention on Biodiversity (CBD) for protected and conserved areas in Canada and the world that align with the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.

This Advanced Certificate will be of interest to individuals involved in land use planning, parks, environmental protection, and conservation or other areas relating to culture, lands, waters, air, and wildlife.

The IPCA Planning Certificate is being offered in partnership with the IISAAK OLAM Foundation.
