Efforts to protect nature at COP15 will fail without Indigenous people, leaders say
The world won’t succeed in halting biodiversity loss without Indigenous participation and leadership, according to leaders attending a major United Nations conference in Montreal.
“Our lives are at stake as Indigenous peoples, and the health of the planet,” said Corpuz, a member of the negotiating team for the International Indigenous Forum on Biodiversity taking part in talks at the conference. She said many want to ensure no protected areas are created on their lands without their permission and leadership. Some want the flexibility of having their lands included in the 30 per cent without them being deemed conservation areas.
He said his community in western Quebec is witnessing the effects of biodiversity loss and climate change, adding he doesn’t feel governments are going far enough on conservation. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced up to $800 million over seven years to support four Indigenous-led conservation initiatives in northern Ontario, British Columbia, the Northwest Territories and Nunavut.
