The Coalition Guide
150+ organizations, one coalition. What brings us together is a common mission to protect and elevate the rights and struggles of Indigenous Peoples, Afro-descendant Peoples, and local communities to own, develop, and protect their traditional territories and ecosystems. Remaining agile and responsive, our coalition is pioneering a future where every individual has a say in the stewardship of their land and resources, leading to concrete policy reforms and lasting impact on the planet.
A Network of Networks
We are a united front of organizations of all sizes—local, national, regional and international—coming together to leverage the power of its coalition to collaborate across an array of topics and expertise. From research and advocacy to grassroots mobilization and capacity building, we magnify each others’ voices in support of land and resource rights. We take proactive measures to engage with governments, multilateral institutions, and private sector actors to advance our shared mission.
Working on climate, biodiversity, land tenure, youth and women empowerment, our coalition’s goal is to promote Indigenous, Afro-descendant, and local community-led conservation.
