In the season finale we visit Thaidene Nëné, a huge swath of land in the Boreal Forest, and learn how the Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation and the Canadian government came together to protect an area that’s vital for birds, indigenous people, and the health of the entire planet.The Boreal Forest is one of the most important bird habitats in the Western Hemisphere. Billions of birds nest and hatch their eggs here. It is also the ancestral home of the Łutsël K’é Dene First Nation, who’ve spent decades trying to preserve the land on their terms. Their solution could well provide a blueprint for sustainable conservation around the world.There's more to the story!Learn more about the Thaidene Nëné Indigenous Protected and Conserved AreaMeet the birds of Boreal Forest"How to Find Comfort in Watching for Boreal Birds" - advice from Jeff WellsFor the full transcript and more visit BirdNote.org.Special thanks to Emily Blake, Emily Cousins, and Janna Graham for their help in making this episode. BirdNote is an independent nonprofit media production company.
