A powerful alliance beyond borders
We are Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and local community organizations and allies from 39 countries spanning many landscapes, from the dense tropical forests in Southeast Asia to the Central African plains and villages in the Andes and Himalayas. We are community leaders, organizers, researchers, journalists, human rights defenders, women, youth, farmers, pastoralists, lawyers, and so much more.
