PAYMENT FOR ECOSYSTEM SERVICES

The document highlights the environmental, social, and cultural benefits of habitat conservation in Asatiwispi Aki, Manitoba. It emphasizes the role of the boreal forest in carbon sequestration, water protection for Lake Winnipeg, and the preservation of First Nation traditional knowledge and culture. These efforts are framed as contributions to Canada's Paris Agreement and Convention on Biological Diversity commitments.

• Conservation of the boreal forest in Asatiwispi Aki facilitates the storage of 444 million tonnes of carbon.
• Ecosystem services in the region support water quality protection for Lake Winnipeg, hydro power production for Manitoba, and the protection of the boreal forest, which serves as a habitat for woodland Caribou and over 150 bird species.
• The community's ecosystem services demonstrate how First Nation communities support Canada's goals for a low carbon, climate resilient pathway under the Paris Agreement and the Convention on Biological Diversity.
