Indigenous peoples aren’t a romantic idea from the past; they are living communities who hold rights, knowledge, and a profound relationship with the lands that keep our planet alive.
They are the true Guardians of Biodiversity, caring for forests, waters, and ecosystems that regulate our climate, feed us, and supply the plants behind so many natural products we rely on.
When their voices are ignored and their territories are threatened, it’s not just a cultural loss…it undermines the very biodiversity that all humans depend on for food, medicine, and a stable future.
In two weeks, here on LinkedIn a new Episode of The Explorer’s Way will be released- Beto Borges: Indigenous Peoples, The Guardians of Biodiversity.
Beto Borges, long time friend and colleague, is Director of the Communities and Territorial Governance Initiative at Forest Trends Association and an environmental leader with over 30 years of experience working alongside Indigenous and local communities in the Amazon and Latin America to secure their rights, steward forests, and access climate and conservation finance.
Tune in to hear Beto share about the state of Indigenous peoples, and how they must be respected as rights‑holders and listened to as essential partners in protecting biodiversity: not only for their communities, but for the wellbeing of everyone on Earth.
