The Indigenous Bungong People are vested stakeholders in protecting their traditional land and are calling on World Leaders to do their part to preserve forests and wildlife for the next generation.
Their stories need to be shared so that people around the world can understand the drastic impacts climate change is having on local communities, right now.
Communities who contribute the least to emissions are suffering the most due to lack of capacity to adapt to climate change.
The world needs forest communities’ leadership, knowledge and equal participation to meet our global climate goals.
My role is to help amplify the voices of local and Indigenous people. For the world to hear their truth.
When looking for solutions to achieve the world’s collective climate goals, we must include local voices.
I strongly believe that among the different measures taken in the fight against climate change in the world, REDD+ projects can be one of the most successful initiatives with enough participation.
