Drawing on over 15 years of research, our databases detailing the distribution of Forest Tenure, the Depth of Rights, Women’s Rights, and Freshwater Tenure provide answers to these critical questions.
RRI’s Tenure Tracking data monitors the legal recognition of Indigenous Peoples’, Afro-descendant Peoples’, and local communities’—including women’s—rights to forests, land, and natural resources through databases that examine both quantitative and qualitative aspects of community rights recognition.
These databases track rights across more than 75 countries. Read a detailed history of RRI’s signature Tenure Tracking Databases.
