Recommendation 36

36 Paragraph: 128

Insufficient funding directly supports Indigenous Peoples' and Local Communities' nature tenure rights.

Conclusion
It is encouraging to see the IPLC donor pledge supporting the principle of the advancement of Indigenous Peoples’ and local communities’ forest tenure rights and rewards their role as guardians of forests and nature. However, extremely little funding pledged for nature has previously supported IPLC tenure rights, and even less has reached indigenous peoples and local community organisations directly.
