Home - Land Is Life

Directly supporting grassroots Indigenous communities, organizations and leaders globally since 1992. As the international community struggles to address the world's most pressing issues - climate change, destruction of ecosystems, food security, global poverty and women's rights - it is critical that the world recognize that these challenges will be difficult, if not impossible, to address without the involvement of Indigenous Peoples. For millennia Indigenous Peoples have developed sustainable ways of living that are based not on profit but on reciprocity with nature. As our climate continues to change, and our shared resources are threatened, we must recognize what happens in the forest affects everyone on earth.
