Indigenous Peoples Ambassadors for Primary Forests
Recognizing Indigenous leaders safeguarding the world's primary forests through knowledge, stewardship, and leadership.
Primary forests are among Earth’s most valuable ecosystems. Forests play a vital role in sustaining biodiversity, regulating the climate, and supporting livelihoods. Indigenous communities have long been the custodians of traditional ecological knowledge that sustains forests. However, their voices often remain underrepresented in decision-making and conservation leadership.
Indigenous communities have long been the custodians of traditional ecological knowledge that sustains forests. However, their voices often remain underrepresented in decision-making and conservation leadership. This initiative seeks to position Indigenous leaders as Primary Forest Ambassadors, recognizing their unique knowledge, stewardship, and leadership potential in promoting primary forest conservation, sustainable forest management, climate resilience, and cultural preservation.
Indigenous Peoples will be CELEBRATED for their tireless work protecting primary forests. Join us as we count down to the announcement of the first-ever Primary Forest Ambassadors
