PEOPLE

Many of the worldʼs ecosystems and areas of high biodiversity under threat are also home to Indigenous Peoples and local communities, whose livelihoods and cultures are closely dependent on nature. They have traditional knowledge and experience in managing natural resources sustainably, and are the natural guardians of the environment. Securing their rights and wellbeing is crucial in conserving biodiversity and promoting sustainable development.
