We believe that the peoples who call these places home are the best guardians of their cultures’ vital birthplaces, and that supporting the rights and livelihoods of Indigenous peoples, and following their leadership, is critical to the health of our planet as a whole. OUR VISION Our vision is of an Earth where Indigenous guardianship of thriving homelands and waters is ENABLED everywhere possible OUR ASPIRATIONS To contribute to this, over the next decade we will UPHOLD a network of place-anchored partnerships with Indigenous peoples that demonstrate the power of Indigenous guardianship to sustain a vibrant Earth.
