@darrenwalker @FordFoundation Amazing news! When forests are managed by the people who live in them, conservation tends to follow.

'Community Ownership' Might Be the Best Way to Fight Deforestation - RTBC

Forests owned, managed and governed by their communities naturally preserve biodiversity and have very low levels of deforestation.

@darrenwalker @FordFoundation HUGE! 🙏👏💪Let's hope funds: 1) reach the grassroots 2) don't weaken communities that function outside a money economy. Ethical, logistical and trusting collaborations is the missing link. IPs can end up paying when money is mismanaged or stays up North

Across the world, governments are protecting habitats. But indigenous peoples are being evicted
