When it comes to nature protection, the evidence seems crystal clear: Nature is safest where local communities and indigenous people are fully in charge of their landscapes and where their rights to land use, management and decisions are respected and upheld. In practice, what does it mean to truly consider the safety of nature and those protecting it and how can we raise global awareness of the reality of these experiences from the ground?
In this session speakers will share their very personal stories from the heart of local and indigenous communities, revealing how they manage their relationships with their community and with nature in very distinct and highly inspiring ways.
