Indigenous Peoples Council on Biocolonialism

The Indigenous Peoples Council on Biocolonialism (IPCB) is an organization that advocates for Indigenous rights and sovereignty over their biological resources and traditional knowledge. It seeks to address and combat biocolonial practices, where corporations and governments exploit Indigenous peoples' biological resources without consent or fair compensation. The IPCB emphasizes the importance of protecting Indigenous cultural heritage and ensuring that Indigenous communities have a say in how their resources are used, promoting ethical relationships and collaboration with scientific and commercial entities. This reflects broader issues of social justice, equity, and respect for Indigenous sovereignty in the context of globalization.
