Legal Advocacy And Land Titling
We support the formal recognition and legal demarcation of indigenous territories, which is a cornerstone for both protecting forests and upholding human rights.
- Assisting communities in navigating national land titling processes and legal frameworks.
- Providing legal expertise to defend land claims against encroachment by extractive industries.
- Supporting the creation and enforcement of community-managed conservation areas within titled lands.
Community-Based Forest Management
We empower indigenous communities to manage and protect their ancestral forests through sustainable practices and economic alternatives.
- Training in sustainable resource harvesting, agroforestry, and non-timber forest product value chains.
- Supporting community-led patrols and monitoring systems to prevent illegal logging and land clearing.
- Facilitating access to carbon credit markets and other payment for ecosystem services schemes.
Capacity Building And Knowledge Exchange
We strengthen indigenous governance and technical skills, while facilitating the sharing of traditional ecological knowledge with conservation science.
- Organizing workshops on leadership, project management, and advocacy for community representatives.
- Creating platforms for inter-community dialogue and alliance-building across regions.
- Documenting and integrating traditional land-use practices into modern conservation planning.
International Advocacy And Awareness
We amplify indigenous voices on global stages to influence policies and secure funding that links forest conservation with land rights.
- Supporting indigenous delegates' participation in UN climate and biodiversity conferences (e.g., COP).
- Producing research and campaigns highlighting the role of indigenous stewardship in global climate mitigation.
- Engaging corporate partners to adopt zero-deforestation policies that respect indigenous consent.
