Joanna Jack is a conservation biologist and environmental educator with an interest in cross-cultural approaches to conservation.Joanna had the privilege to work together with four First Nation governments and communities as they continued to make their voices heard on the fate of the Peel Watershed. The campaign for the Peel watershed brought diverse peoples together around a common message of hope for one of the last intact mountain wildernesses on the planet. It rallied the Yukon territory around the spirit and intent of its modern treaties, which enable citizens to protect the land that sustains them.Joanna was then CPAWS' lead on initiating national support for the Vuntut Gwitchin's renewed efforts to protect the Porcupine Caribou herd from threats of oil drilling in their Arctic Wildlife Refuge calving grounds.These experiences sparked her keen interest in exploring the transformation potential of learning from, and working together alongside Indigenous peoples in conservation.
