Tribal peoples are the world’s original scientists. It’s self-evident; where they have been allowed to continue living on their lands, forest cover and biodiversity can be much higher than in other kinds of protected areas. And without their ecological knowledge, many vital medicines might never have been developed. Now it is vital for us that all their knowledge and views are seen as legitimate. Tribal peoples should have a far greater role in policy decisions regarding climate change mitigation, and their right to ownership of their land needs to be recognized.
