Ms Jennifer CORPUZ
Chair

I am an Indigenous woman from the Kankanaey Igorot People of Besao, Mountain Province in the Philippines. I am a lawyer by profession, having obtained my Bachelor of Laws degree from the University of the Philippines, and my Master of Laws degree from the University of Arizona in Tucson, Arizona, USA. As Fellow and Strategic Advisor to Nia Tero, a US Foundation that supports Indigenous Peoples' self-determination, governance and tenure, I advise on the organization's engagement in the CBD, UNFCCC, and other global processes that impact Indigenous Peoples. I was appointed by the President of the UN ECOSOC as a member of the UN Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII) for the 2026-2028 term.

The Indigenous Peoples, Customary & Environmental Laws & Human Rights Specialist Group (SPICEH), at its core, has a focus to deepen awareness, provide analysis, and offer recommendations for conservation that take into account indigenous peoples’ distinct human rights as it relates to their environment, lands, territories, and natural resources.  

For indigenous peoples, their human rights are not separate from their lands and environment, therefore environmental and human rights must be fully integrated in all aspects of work.
