Indigenous peoples hold and manage a significant part of the Earth's most biodiverse regions and play a vital role in conserving lands, seas and resources. They cultivate strong economic, cultural and spiritual relationships with their natural environments and have developed and often maintain traditional management practices and knowledge that contribute to biodiversity conservation and to the sustainable use of natural resources.

World Wide Fund For Nature Communities and indigenous peoples at the centre of conservation success
Through our years of work, we know that conservation and indigeneous people can work in harmony and approaches
designed together with communities and indigenous peoples creates sustainable management of natural resources.
Understanding the links between local people and their environment allows us to identify, avoid and mitigate the
social and environmental risks of our work, and most importantly ensure the needs and aspirations of the indigenous
and local communities are a foundation on which our conservation programmes are built.

Combating Discrimination against Indigenous Peoples-The world's indigenous population has been estimated at 370 million individuals
living in more than 70 countries and made up of more than 5.000 distinct peoples. Although representing 5% of the world's population,
indigenous peoples account for 15% of the world's poorest people. Indigenous peoples face many challenges and their human rights are
frequently violated: they are denied control over their own development based on their own values, needs and priorities; they are
politically under-represented and lack access to social and other services. They are often marginalized when it comes to projects
affecting their lands and have been the victims of forced displacement as a result of ventures such as the exploitation of natural resources.

marginalization, extreme poverty and other human rights violations.
