"Ecocide refers to the destruction of ecosystems and the natural environment, often as a result of human activity. The consequences of ecocide can be far-reaching and devastating, and one of the most severe impacts is on human populations. In Canada, ecocide has been linked to the ongoing genocide of Indigenous peoples, who are disproportionately affected by the destruction of the natural environment.

Indigenous peoples in Canada have a deep connection to the land and rely on the natural environment for their physical, cultural, and spiritual survival. The destruction of ecosystems, such as the loss of forests, rivers, and wildlife, has a direct impact on Indigenous communities, affecting their ability to hunt, fish, gather medicines, and practice their traditional ways of life. Ecocide has also been linked to the contamination of traditional foods and water sources, leading to significant health issues for Indigenous communities.

The impact of ecocide on Indigenous peoples is compounded by systemic racism and colonialism, which have led to the dispossession of Indigenous lands, the forced removal of Indigenous peoples from their traditional territories, and the suppression of Indigenous cultures and languages. This has created a context in which Indigenous peoples are particularly vulnerable to the effects of ecocide and other environmental issues.

In addition to the impact on Indigenous peoples, ecocide also contributes to the wider issue of climate change, which has been linked to an increase in extreme weather events, natural disasters, and displacement of populations. Climate change disproportionately affects marginalized communities, including Indigenous peoples and racialized communities, who are often the most vulnerable to the impacts of environmental degradation and climate change.

Overall, ecocide is a significant contributor to the ongoing genocide of Indigenous peoples in Canada, as well as to wider issues of racial injustice and environmental degradation. Addressing ecocide requires recognizing the rights and sovereignty of Indigenous peoples, supporting Indigenous-led initiatives to protect the environment, and transitioning towards sustainable and equitable modes of development."
