Our Partner and Collaborator organizations are directly engaged in land and forest policy reforms in close to 20 countries throughout Africa, Asia, and Latin America. Together, we are working to encourage greater global commitment and action towards policy, market, and legal reforms that secure the rights of Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant Peoples, and local communities to own, control, and benefit from natural resources, especially land and forests.
