Recommendation 42
42
Paragraph: 158
Ensuring full and meaningful participation of indigenous communities in anti-deforestation negotiations is crucial
Conclusion
Indigenous peoples and local communities (IPLCs) are vital protectors of forests: but they themselves are victims of the negative effects of deforestation activity, which can include violence and deprivation of livelihoods. Ensuring the full and meaningful participation of IPLCs in negotiations to address deforestation activity is therefore crucial: it is encouraging that this appears to be recognised in Government.
