In India, the specter of forced displacement hangs over the heads of millions of Indigenous Peoples<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

By Arun Agrawal; originally published by The Washington Post<\/em><\/p>\n

In February,\u00a0India\u2019s Supreme Court\u00a0ruled that indigenous and local households whose land claims had not yet been upheld \u2014 roughly 2 million\u00a0households, or an\u00a0estimated\u00a010 million people \u2014 would be evicted from their homes by July 24. The court then put a hold on the evictions until its next hearing in July, providing a brief respite to residents who are largely impoverished and cannot afford to move without grievous harm \u2014 but also extending their anxiety.<\/p>\n

Now, Prime Minister Narendra Modi\u2019s government must ask the Supreme Court to reconsider its unjust decision…. Read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Calling for a new narrative: Indigenous and rural women as agents of change<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

By Silene Ramirez; originally published by Women Deliver<\/em><\/p>\n

Indigenous and rural women are largely responsible for food production and developing sustainable rural economies. They have unique knowledge of natural resources and are on the front lines of preventing deforestation, revitalizing food systems, and stewarding the ecosystems that they and the rest of the planet rely on. And their leadership is only growing as a result of demographic shifts.<\/p>\n

Despite these important contributions as household and forest managers, women are too often left out of decision-making processes that affect them, and remain constrained by unjust laws and practices…. Read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n

\u00ab\u00a0The roots of a lasting peace are intertwined with the land\u00a0\u00bb<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

By Alain Frechette<\/em><\/p>\n

2018 was a concerning year for all who want a stable, prosperous, and healthy planet. We learned from scientists just how urgent efforts to mitigate climate change are. We saw Brazil join the growing ranks of countries headed by ultranationalist and xenophobic leaders. And, after the deadliest year on record for land and environmental defenders in 2017, we witnessed even higher levels of violence, criminalization, and persecution targeting Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and their defenders.<\/p>\n

While there is no silver bullet for solving these problems, I remain optimistic that we can collectively find ways to address the inequality and insecurity that underpin them…. Read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Protect indigenous, community, and women’s land rights for food security and nutrition<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By Fany Kuiru and Paul De Wit; originally published in Devex<\/em><\/p>\n

Around 1 in 9 people in the world \u2014 821 million \u2014 are undernourished. After a prolonged decline, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations found that world hunger is rising once again.<\/p>\n

The world\u2019s food systems need to be transformed to curb this trend. Legally recognized and protected land rights for indigenous peoples and local communities in the developing world are a key part of revitalizing the world\u2019s food systems. In particular, the rights of rural and indigenous women to support diverse, local agricultural production require urgent attention…. Read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n

President Iv\u00e1n Duque, Protect Social Activists<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By Omaira\u00a0Bola\u00f1os; originally published in the New York Times<\/em><\/p>\n

Like many Colombians, I have lived most of my life amid cycles of armed conflict and attempts at peace. I grew up listening to stories of violence from my family and witnessing the myriad ways it devastated groups across the country. Those who are poorest and living in rural areas have always been among the most affected by the violence…. Read more in English<\/a>\u00a0and in Spanish<\/a><\/p>\n\n

In India, making the business case for community forest rights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By Flavie Halais; originally published in Devex<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2006, India\u2019s parliament passed the Forest Rights Act, or FRA\u2014a groundbreaking legislation that recognizes the rights of forest dwellers to protect and manage forest resources.<\/p>\n

Colonial-era laws established by the British previously granted control of India\u2019s forests to forest departments, the government services in charge of implementing the National Forest Policy, in order to manage large-scale industrial and commercial projects. But this left local communities vulnerable to displacement, socio-economic marginalization, and their lands susceptible to environmental degradation…. Read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n

To end deforestation, we must protect community land rights<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By Bryson Ogden; originally published in the World Economic Forum<\/em><\/p>\n

\n

Ending deforestation is crucial to achieving a host of global goals, including preventing a climate crisis, sustaining rural livelihoods and preserving natural biodiversity. To this end, companies, investors, governments, civil society and communities have made\u00a0ambitious commitments\u00a0to reduce deforestation by 2020. These include the New York Declaration on Forests\u2019 goal to\u00a0halve\u00a0natural forest loss, the\u00a0Bonn Challenge\u00a0to restore 150 million hectares of degraded forest, and the Consumer Goods Forum\u2019s commitment to net zero deforestation in palm oil, soy, beef, and paper supply chains.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

But companies are finding that pervasive insecurity of community land rights in the global south is making implementation difficult…. Read more<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n

In the Philippines, they are shooting the messengers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

By Victoria Tauli-Corpuz; originally published in Financial Times<\/em><\/p>\n

When I learnt that the Philippine government had accused me of being a terrorist, my immediate reaction was to hug my grandkids, fearing for their safety. Then, I started to speak out. Again.<\/p>\n

I am the UN special rapporteur on the rights of indigenous peoples. My mandate is to report when communities anywhere in the world are forced to relocate, their lands uprooted, their leaders either deemed criminals or killed. Not everyone wants to hear it, but the message needs to be spread. In the Philippines, they are shooting the messengers…. Read more<\/a><\/p>\n\n

Our best hope for 2018: Women elected to local politics<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

By Andy White; originally published on Thomson Reuters<\/em> Place<\/em><\/p>\n

n 2017, Nepal held its first local elections in 20 years, a test of the country\u2019s fledgling democracy after a slow recovery from civil war. Nearly 2,000 of those elected to local office were members of the Federation of Community Forestry Users Nepal (FECOFUN), a coalition representing 8.5 million Indigenous Peoples and local communities, almost a third of Nepal\u2019s population.<\/p>\n

This is a game-changer for both the local people who protect Nepal\u2019s forests and for Nepal\u2019s democracy itself. These communities will now be writing regulations that govern their resources\u2014setting precedents for democratic forest governance in Nepal and across Asia….
