The report, Tribal Co-Management of Federal Lands: Opportunities and Challenges, distills key findings from the 2023 Tribal Co-Management Symposium in Washington, D.C., by the Yale Center for Environmental Justice. It calls for urgent reforms to federal land management practices and outlines pathways for stronger Tribal participation in the stewardship of public lands. The report highlights that while federal consultation with Tribes is long-standing, it has too often been narrow in scope and limited in impact. Symposium participants emphasized the need for reforms that expand the role of Tribal Nations in shaping the stewardship of federal lands. Co-management represents not only environmental stewardship but also restorative justice. The report highlights how integrating Tribal knowledge with Western science strengthens conservation, while also supporting Tribal sovereignty, economic development, and cultural continuity.
