What is Sustainability?
Sustainability is the ability to meet our own needs without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs. This includes (but there are more?) natural resources, social resources/equity, and economic resources/development. Sustainability is not just environmental-ism.
Indigenous peoples are of vital importance to the world’s land management and keeping the world’s food systems diverse and sustainable.
They make up less than 5% of the population but manage more than one-quarter of the world’s land surface.
Many of the world’s forests remain intact because indigenous peoples have protected and maintained them for centuries.
