需要大幅提高保护的速度、规模和有效性，以减缓全球生物多样性的持续丧失和同时发生的生态退化。与此同时，人们日益认识到，保护需要尊重固有的人权，包括土著人民的权利和所有权。在这里，我们描述了经常被忽视的作用，复苏的土著领导的治理可以在推动快速，社会公正的增加保护。虽然土著复兴涵盖治理的各个方面，但我们侧重于三个方面，突出了支持复兴的土著领导的治理体系的必要性和新生潜力，因为它们与保护土地和海洋有关。首先，许多具有保护价值的景观和海景都在土著领土内，因此，如果没有土著的同意和伙伴关系，在这些领土内加强保护将越来越不可能、不合理、也不法律的。其次，土著治理的复兴为迅速扩大保护区的空间覆盖范围提供了潜力。第三，土著治理的复兴为提高保护效率提供了潜力。我们专注于加拿大，这个国家不成比例地由全球重要的完整生态系统和其他具有相当生态价值的生态系统组成，由土著领土组成，土著政府有能力大规模推进有意义的保护。我们讨论了更广泛的影响，土著领土覆盖了地球仪的大片地区，包括所有五个国家（加拿大，美国，澳大利亚，巴西，俄罗斯），其边界包含了世界上大部分剩余的完整景观。我们提出建议，支持复兴的土著治理，以实现有效和社会公正的生物多样性保护。
Substantial increases in the pace, scale, and effectiveness of conservation will be required to abate the ongoing loss of global biodiversity and simultaneous ecological degradation. Concurrently, the need for conservation to respect inherent human rights, including the rights and title of Indigenous Peoples, is increasingly recognized. Here, we describe the often overlooked role that resurgent Indigenous-led governance could have in driving rapid, socially just increases in conservation. Whereas Indigenous resurgence spans all aspects of governance, we focus on three aspects that highlight both the necessity and nascent potential of supporting resurgent Indigenous-led governance systems as they relate to conservation of lands and seas. Firstly, much of the landscapes and seascapes of conservation interest are within Indigenous territories, so augmenting conservation within them will increasingly not be possible, justified, nor legal without Indigenous consent and partnership. Secondly, resurgent Indigenous governance provides potential for rapidly increasing the spatial coverage of conserved areas. Thirdly, resurgent Indigenous governance provides potential for increased conservation effectiveness. We focus on Canada, a country disproportionately composed of globally significant intact ecosystems and other ecosystems with considerable ecological value, comprised of Indigenous territories, and where Indigenous governments are well-positioned to advance meaningful conservation at a large scale. We discuss broader implications, with Indigenous territories covering large swaths of the globe, including in all five countries (Canada, USA, Australia, Brazil, Russia) whose borders contain the majority of the world's remaining intact landscapes. We offer suggestions for supporting resurgent Indigenous governance to achieve biodiversity conservation that is effective and socially just.
