WE CONNECT FOR THE CHANGE FROM THE ACCOMPANIMENT OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES
Guardians of the forest
“Guardians of the Forest is a unique initiative in which we join a powerful alliance of traditional leaderships at a global level. Indigenous peoples and local communities have defended the world's tropical forests for centuries, and humanity has failed to recognize their role in recent decades. For this reason, we are committed to telling the world the stories of those who care for the world's most diverse ecosystems, as well as to position their demands in local, regional and international settings. " Lina Salas, project manager.
