2021 is the super year for our planet. Global leaders will convene in a series of meetings to determine solutions to the planet\u2019s climate, nature and sustainable development challenges and it is critical they support nature\u2019s original custodians – the world\u2019s Indigenous peoples and local communities. Any global conservation efforts including calls to protect and conserve at least 30% of the world\u2019s land, freshwater and oceans by 2030 hinge on strong IPLC participation and leadership and will be unattainable without them.<\/p>\n

A new, first of its kind collaborative study compiled by conservation organizations and experts, with guidance from and peer reviewed by Indigenous Peoples experts and organizations highlights the importance of recognizing and respecting the rights, governance, and conservation efforts of Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLC) as custodians of their lands.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Question for this article<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
\n

Indigenous peoples, Are they the true guardians of nature?<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

(Article continued from left column)<\/p>\n

The study finds that Indigenous peoples and local communities’ lands and territories cover at least 32% of the planet\u2019s terrestrial surface and the majority (91%) are considered to be in good or fair ecological condition today. This is mostly because IPLCs have lived sustainably for generations in their \u2018territories of life\u2019 and safeguard many of the world\u2019s remaining natural landscapes. Many of these areas support unique cultural and spiritual values and practices, and are critical in combating nature loss and climate breakdown.\u00a0<\/p>\n

IPLC knowledge and practices have helped preserve their lands for generations. And yet, more than a quarter of IPLC lands could face high development pressures in the future, underlining the need to secure the rights, governance and practices of those who are best-placed to safeguard many of the natural systems on which we all depend.<\/p>\n

As countries meet to negotiate a new\u00a0Global Biodiversity Framework\u00a0<\/a> later this year, we hope the findings of this report catalyze\u00a0 support for Indigenous peoples and local communities so that they can defend and restore their lands and territories as part of global conservation efforts.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Only with IPLCs leading, will conservation that benefits both people and the biodiversity on which we all depend, be fruitful.<\/p>\n
