Guarantee forest rights through indigenous rights
Forests cover 30% of the Earth’s land surface and play an essential role in maintaining sustainability: they favour sustainable agriculture, stabilize soils and climate, regulate water flows and provide a habitat for pollinators and natural predators. They also play a fundamental role in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the 2030 Agenda as they contribute to ensuring the food security of hundreds of millions of people, being their main suppliers of food, energy and income.
However, levels of deforestation, despite global attempts to reduce them, remain alarming. In 2017 alone, for example, 15.8 million hectares of tropical forest were lost, equivalent to 40 football fields every minute for 12 months.

“Indigenous people must be part of the solution to climate change. This is because you have the traditional knowledge of your ancestors. The important value of that knowledge simply cannot—and must not—be understated”.
Patricia Espinosa, Executive Secretary of the UNFCCC
"Hasta que no empiecen a enfocarse en lo que se necesita hacer, en lugar de lo que es políticamente posible, no hay esperanza. No podemos resolver una crisis sin tratarla como una crisis"
