Indigenous lands are home to the world's healthiest, most biodiverse, and most resilient forests.

 According to research Indigenous peoples are the best land stewards in the world and crucial to biodiversity conservation.

The land of indigenous people accounts for 80 percent of the world's remaining biodiversity, of which about a quarter is managed by them.

 A 2020 study found that 47 percent of threatened mammals live on Indigenous lands and are protected by them.

In addition, strong evidence contradicts popular international theories that land should be protected by keeping people away.

 More than 80 percent of terrestrial plants and animals live in forests, which store carbon and provide economic and social benefits.

 Approximately a third of the world's forests overlap with indigenous lands.

 Protecting forests plays a crucial role in achieving international climate goals due to their importance.
