Text 1
A conservation group representing 11 tribal nations in the Great Lakes region reported to various state and federal natural resources agencies operating in the region that the firefly (waawaatesi in the Ojibwe language) will likely fare significantly worse than the black bear (makwa in Ojibwe) due to rising temperatures over the next 50 years. This collaborative approach has helped build trust between government and tribal groups, which will likely improve the quality of any joint conservation projects.
