Protect and restore Nature and Wildlife: the Community Based Solutions approach (Actual time 12:15-13:30)

Why attend
Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities are often cited as the best stewards of nature and forests. However, their voice is almost never heard. By attending, you will listen to a new coalition of representative organizations from 24 countries, representing at least 840 million ha of land, most of it in the rainforest areas.
HideDescription
A short documentary, "Eyá Pavara-Blue Forests" by If Not Us Then Who will be projected, and then, the General Coordinator of the Global Alliance, will take the floor to give a TED-like presentation on why we should not only speak about Nature Based Solutions, but also Community Based Solutions. Questions will be taken, and will be answered by the main character, or by other leaders present at the event.
  • IUCN Commission on Environmental, Economic, and Social Policy (CEESP)
  • IUCN Forest Conservation and Climate Change Programme
  • Global Alliance of Territorial Communities, If Not Us Then Who?
