Indigenous peoples and the environment
- Submission status
- Open
Over a quarter of the world’s land area is owned, managed, or occupied by indigenous peoples and local communities. Indigenous peoples have a close, centuries-old and usually sustainable relationship with the land and ocean environment and nature. However, indigenous peoples may suffer disproportionately from biodiversity loss and environmental degradation.
In this Collection, we feature articles that explore the relationship between indigenous peoples and the environment and the value of indigenous knowledge in meeting Sustainable Development Goals.
This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 3: Good Health & Wellbeing.
