Healing takes time. Protection takes action. And the future depends on what we choose to do now. 🌎

Today, on #EarthDay, we’re reminded that caring for this planet isn’t passive, it’s a responsibility we all share.

🌿 Motion 107, passed at the @IUCN World Conservation Congress, calls for scaling up Indigenous leadership in protecting #biodiversity and the sacred.

[WILD Foundation @wildfoundation]

📣 Motion 107 Passed: Scaling-up Indigenous leadership in the protection of biodiversity and the sacred! 🌿 Sacred sites and species are vital to #biodiversity, not just symbolic. Indigenous Peoples must lead #conservation on their lands, with full access to sacred places.

[WILD Foundation @wildfoundation]

📣 Motion 097 Passed: Mainstreaming mentorship for young ecological stewards to enhance #conservation efforts! 🌍 This motion matters. Mentorship helps young professionals gain skills, networks, and real-world experience—things formal education alone can’t offer. @IUCN

[WILD Foundation @wildfoundation]

This is why the terminology of ‘Indigenous Peoples and local communities’ is necessary even when it is conceptually distinct.

@IUCN, what would you do to support correct terminology?

[WILD Foundation @wildfoundation]

Shockingly, many national governments around the world do not recognize their Indigenous populations as Indigenous.

In these instances, Indigenous rights are only extended through the terminology of ‘local communities.’

🚩 USDA plans to strip protections from 45M acres of roadless #forests—bigger than Alabama. ‼️ The issue isn’t #fire, it’s forest health. 🌲 Roads worsen #wildfires & waste resources. 📣 Comment by Sept 19: https://t.co/NzJDT1Afu0
