Safe territories, protected forests. Indigenous perspectives for just climate action.

This document presents the findings of a research study on the different visions between stateled conservation and Indigenous territorial rights. Based on an ethnographic, documentary, and participatory analysis, it examines how the State and the Indigenous communities conceive and manage the territory, as well as the strategies these communities have developed to defend their rights. The objective is to provide inputs to rethink climate mitigation and adaptation, and advance towards a conservation model that ensures both biodiversity and Indigenous territorial security.
