Land rights activism

Land rights activism is a movement advocating for the legal rights of individuals and communities to own, use, and manage land. This activism often focuses on marginalized groups, including Indigenous peoples, who may face dispossession or discrimination regarding land access. Activists work to raise awareness, influence policies, and protect land from exploitation, urban development, and environmental degradation. By promoting equitable land ownership, these efforts aim to ensure social justice, cultural preservation, and sustainable development, highlighting the importance of land as a vital resource for livelihood and identity.
