For millennia, Indigenous communities have been environmental guardians, using traditional knowledge to live in balance and protect flora and fauna. They safeguard 80% of the world's biodiversity, and protecting these lands and waters is crucial for climate mitigation, as these biodiverse areas are major carbon sinks. Indigenous peoples are the ancestral owners of nearly half the intact forest in the Amazon Basin.

Nemonte Nenquimo, a Waorani leader and co-founder of Ceibo Alliance and Amazon Frontlines, stresses that respecting Indigenous peoples' rights to their territories is vital for protecting the Amazon rainforest, our climate, and global life. Recognized by Time's 100 most influential people and a Goldman Environmental Prize winner, Nenquimo advocates against oil drilling on ancestral lands.

Indigenous communities are vital guardians of Earth's biodiversity, safeguarding 80% of what remains globally. Their traditional knowledge and ancestral ownership of vast areas, including nearly half of the Amazon's intact forests, are crucial for mitigating the climate crisis, as these biodiverse regions serve as major carbon sinks. Respecting Indigenous peoples' internationally recognized rights is paramount for protecting our planet's most important rainforests, climate, and life.

Nemonte Nenquimo, a Waorani leader and co-founder of Ceibo Alliance and Amazon Frontlines, champions this cause. Named one of Time's 100 most influential people and a Goldman Environmental Prize winner, she fights against oil drilling on ancestral lands.
