1 Pimachiowin Aki Corporation Beginning in 2018, the site received funding from the Environment and Climate Change Canada Indigenous Guardians Pilot Program. A full-time Guardian is hired in each of the four Pimachiowin Aki First Nation communities. Data and information provided by Guardians about the cultural landscape and ecosystem health are added to the Pimachiowin Aki database to monitor indicators of the site's state of conservation, to establish a baseline for climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts locally, and to compare with developed areas of the boreal shield.
