Benjamin Green-Stacey
Benjamin joined the KEPO team in September 2022 as the new Director of Environmental Protection. He comes to this role from the Assembly of First Nations where he advocated on a wide range of environmental issues including: area based conservation and the importance of Indigenous Protected and Conserved Areas, species at risk and the stewardship of culturally significant species, wildlife health and the cultural impacts of zoonotic diseases, and on development of the Post 2020 Global Biodiversity Framework of the Convention on Biological Diversity. He is looking forward to working with KEPO and Kahnawa’kehró:non to find culturally grounded opportunities for growth in Kahnawà:ke’s environmental protections and the assertion of jurisdiction over environmental protection matters.
