Cooperation among the four First Nations and two provincial government partners, organized as the Pimachiowin Aki Corporation, is novel but thus far effective (Pimachiowin Aki Corporation, 2019). The World Heritage site has an overall management plan that brings together key elements of the four First Nation land management plans and the management plans of the provincial parks. The site management plan and series of legal protections uphold the practices associated with the traditional land management system embedded in Ji-ganawendamang Gidakiiminaan (Keeping the Land). The World Heritage Committee recommended to strengthen the overall management plan, and make it more proactive, including by: 1) Addressing specific over-arching themes such as socio-economic development, diversification and support for local economies; 2) Developing action plans for specific aspects such as visitor management, to ensure it is sustainable in terms of the landscape and its spiritual associations, is under the control of the communities, and offers benefits to them; and 3) Harmonising zoning principles for land-use in the various plans. The Committee also recommended regular monitoring of the effectiveness of the management plan as a proactive tool for the benefit of communities (World Heritage Committee, 2018).
