Domtar Corporation has announced an investment of $135,000 as a funder of First 30×30 Canada, a program focused on supporting Indigenous-led conservation projects in Canada. Through the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, more than 190 countries have committed to protect 30% of their lands and waters by 2030 (“30×30”). To meet Canada’s conservation goals, Indigenous-led conservation is vital. Domtar is an early investor in the First 30×30 program. “Domtar has long been a leader in sustainability, and we, alongside our owner Jackson Wijaya, are committed to forging partnerships that explore nature-based solutions to address climate challenges while delivering social benefits, particularly for Indigenous Nations,” said Sabrina de Branco, Domtar’s global chief sustainability officer. First 30×30 Canada projects will primarily focus on Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas, which are lands and waters that Indigenous Nations identify for conservation.
