IT’S TIME WE STAND UNITED!
Cultural diversity
Indigenous cultures are distinct from dominant societies, recognise the interconnectedness of all living things and place great emphasis on their relationship to nature.
Climate Change
Indigenous peoples are vital to, and active in, the many ecosystems that inhabit their lands and territories and are on the frontlines protecting the environment from extractive industries.
Social Justice
Throughout history indigenous peoples identities, way of life and their right to traditional lands, territories and natural resource have been repeatedly violated.
Ancestral Wisdom
The inheritors and practitioners of these unique cultures represent a continuum of intellect and creativity throughout history. Its loss would be a loss for of humanity.
Biodiversity
Indigenous peoples make up less than 5 percent of the world’s population, represent 15% of the poorest but support and defend over 80 percent of the global biodiversity.
.....
“Culture takes diverse forms across time and space. This diversity is embodied in the uniqueness and plurality of the identities of the groups and societies making up humankind. As a source of exchange, innovation and creativity, cultural diversity is as necessary for humankind as biodiversity is for nature. In this sense, it is the common heritage of humanity and should be recognized and affirmed for the benefit of present and future generations.”
