The State of Indigenous Peoples’ and Local Communities’ Lands and Territories

A new report compiled by conservation experts and organizations, in consultation with Indigenous Peoples and their representatives, highlights the crucial role of Indigenous Peoples and local communities in protecting nature and biodiversity globally. The report shows that global biodiversity goals are unattainable without the full inclusion of Indigenous Peoples and local communities.

Produced collaboratively by WWF, other global conservation organizations, human rights-based NGOs, global alliances, UN entities and IPLC experts and organisations, the report offers strong and credible evidence which will inform advocacy for a truly inclusive New Deal for Nature and People and Post-2020 Global Biodiversity Framework.
