Indigenous peoples play a particularly important role in the fight against climate change. Their worldview and ancestral knowledge advocate a reciprocal relationship with nature, with 80% of the world’s biodiversity found in their territories. The richness of their territories demonstrates the importance of their role as protectors of nature, but also as guides towards sustainable models of life and balance with the planet and other animals. Despite this, their collective rights continue to be violated through direct threats to their territories and, consequently, their ways of life.
