In this short film, The Nature Conservancy and Nature United transport viewers to the largest temperate coastal rainforest in the world to hear first-hand from Indigenous leaders from the Ahousaht and Tla-o-qui-aht First Nations and the Makah Tribe, together with our staff, about the important connections between Indigenous stewardship and natural climate solutions.
The Emerald Edge stretches across Alaska, British Columbia, Washington state and Oregon—with over 100 million acres of lush forest, rivers, islands, and mountain streams. The region sustains hundreds of communities and thousands of species of flora and fauna—including bears, salmon,wolves, and whales—and thanks to its immense carbon-storage capacity, plays a critical role in regulating the global climate.
For millennia, Indigenous First Nations, Alaska Natives and coastal Tribes have called this region home, relying on the lands and waters for traditional practices, fishing, and other cultural and economic uses. These original stewards’ cultures, languages and livelihoods were born from the landscape and to this day, they maintain a vibrant and strong connection to the lands and waters.
At the invitation of Indigenous peoples and local communities, The Nature Conservancy supports leadership efforts to heal the bonds between people and nature, so both can thrive for generations to come.
