At the same time that we celebrate Rakotonarivo et al.'s very strong argument for Indigenous and local involvement in protected areas designation, design, monitoring, and management, we feel compelled to seize the missed opportunity to acknowledge the numerous documented benefits of environmental health in protected areas to Indigenous communities and the proven Indigenous-led institutional approaches for maximizing these. Once triangulated, benefits can be monitored and targeted for amplification. Meanwhile, proven replicable approaches to maximizing benefits can be disseminated from nation to nation for local adaptation and optimization. At the Conservation through Reconciliation Partnership (CRP), many of us have spent years conducting a global scan for just such benefits and approaches for their effective perpetuation. We summarily describe these in this comment manuscript. While adopting the recommendations set out by the Indigenous Circle of Experts in the "We Rise Together" report 10 and amassing and responding to empirical evidence which we have amassed, the CRP has disseminated a number of proven and replicable methods which support Indigenous-led conservation, particularly Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas (IPCA’s). These can be found in the publicly available IPCA Knowledge Basket. So, while we readily join Rakotonarivo et al. in their call for a cultural shift, we insist that it comes with the simultaneous offering of voluminous pragmatic knowledge and best-practices which are ready and available to those who have been moved by their argumentation.
