Indigenous autonomy and governance are key for effective #biodiversity conservation. Thomas Worsdell, our colleague at @AFrontlines along with other scientists reviewed 648 empirical studies to develop a typology of the roles of #IndigenousPeoples in the governance of territories

📣Is it just conservation? A typology of Indigenous peoples’ and local communities’ roles in conserving biodiversity I'm happy that this paper is out to challenge the Protected Area bros and conservation optimism discourse. cell.com/one-earth/full…

The Ogiek have lived in the Mau Forest of Kenya for generations. Now, they are facing evictions from their territories. This injustice violates their legal and cultural rights to the forest. #StandWiththeOgiek by petitioning for their rights today: shorturl.at/kLN13
