A discussion on protecting Indigenous Peoples Living in Voluntary Isolation through rights, conservation, and collaboration.
Indigenous Peoples Living in Voluntary Isolation face growing threats from deforestation, extractive industries, infrastructure expansion, and climate change. Partnering in support of Indigenous-led protection requires approaches that respect their rights, autonomy, and safety while safeguarding the lands and ecosystems they depend on. This discussion will explore the role of Indigenous leadership, conservation, ethical information stewardship, and cross-sector partnerships in supporting PIACI communities to protect their territories and ways of life.
