Rights and Resources Initiative

The Rights and Resources Initiative (RRI) is a global organization that supports indigenous peoples, local communities, and sustainable forest management. It works to secure legal rights over land and resources, ensuring communities can manage forests effectively and benefit fairly. By providing research, advocacy, and partnerships, RRI aims to promote policies that recognize community rights, prevent land grabs, and promote conservation. Its goal is to empower local communities to sustainably manage their natural resources, which benefits biodiversity, climate stability, and social equity.
