Welcome to Forest Cover No. 53,
http://globalforestcoalition.
In this 53rd edition of Forest Cover, published in the run-up to the
Convention on Biodiversity’s December discussions on biodiversity
conservation and the Sustainable Development Goals, we focus on why it
is critical that no one is left behind, which has been
chosen as Agenda 2030’s central theme. When it comes to
intergovernmental and national efforts to conserve biodiversity and
related sustainable development goals, little attention has so far been
paid to the valuable contributions made by Indigenous Peoples
and local communities, especially women. After all, most degraded areas
are located outside their territories. In this issue, we look to
Indigenous Peoples and communities around the world—including in Ghana,
Kenya, India, Malaysia, Nepal and Tanzania—and
their wealth of knowledge and experience about how to conserve the
world’s natural riches and use them sustainably. These examples show
that recognising their rights to access and use biodiversity is
fundamental to achieving the objectives of related policy
instruments such as the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD), the
UN Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) and the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs). Fostering Indigenous Peoples’ and local
communities’ rights and resilience are fundamental
to successful biodiversity conservation.
