Stewarding

the Earth

“Our community needs to build pathways to ensure abundance for future generations: we can look to our indigenous food systems for those pathways.”

Next week marks Indigenous Peoples Day

Engage the real change-makers today

Brenda Asuncion, Hui Mālama Loko Iʻa Coordinator of Kuaʻāina Ulu ʻAuamo (KUA), calls for the international community to support resilient indigenous food systems

The World Summit of Indigenous Peoples and Nature, hosted at the IUCN World Conservation Congress, will create a space for indigenous peoples to raise their voices, reaffirm their rights and present their proposals as stewards of nature. The Summit will present the results of collaborative planning led by IUCN Indigenous Peoples’ Organisation members to develop a Global Indigenous Agenda for the Governance of Indigenous Lands, Territories and Natural Resources and call on the global community to play supportive and enabling roles.
