Indigenous Conservation

Indigenous conservation recognizes the vital role indigenous peoples play in protecting natural environments because of their deep cultural connection and traditional knowledge. It involves collaborating with indigenous communities to conserve biodiversity, manage ecosystems sustainably, and respect their land rights. This approach values indigenous practices that have historically maintained healthy ecosystems, emphasizing that their stewardship benefits both nature and local communities. By supporting indigenous-led conservation efforts, we harness centuries of cultural understanding to ensure the preservation of ecosystems for future generations.
