Conservation Action Plan

Create an information base (Cree knowledge and western science)
Create planning support tools to integrate conservation science knowledge into conservation network planning.
Undertake Cree community level consultations to identify priority conservation areas (areas undergoing high development pressures will receive more immediate attention)
Assess suitability and local support for existing protected areas that were established without the appropriate level of Cree consultation.
Bring all of the priority conservation areas together to design an interconnected, conservation areas network for Eeyou Istchee.
Once identified and documented, priority conservation areas should be made temporarily off limits to further development until decisions on their designation status are made through implementation mechanisms.

Establish protected areas through collaborative work with provincial and federal governments.
Establish protected areas through collaboration with Eeyou Marine Region Planning Commission (Eeyou Marine Region Agreement).
Establish conservation areas through collaboration with regional land use planning commissions.
