Indigenous Peoples, people of African descent, and local communities are guardians of our nature. Their traditional knowledge is a living library of biodiversity conservation. They must be protected. And they must be part of every biodiversity conversation. #COP16Colombia

From Cerro Azúl, Guaviare, Colombia – WWF Colombia – singer songwriter, WWF UK ambassador & UN Environment Programme Global Goodwill Ambassador, Ellie Goulding has a message for world leaders: move beyond promises and take action for people and nature. On the ground in the Amazon rainforest, Ellie met and listened to communities that live and work in nature firsthand, witnessing their vital role in safeguarding biodiversity. She urges leaders: “Indigenous Peoples and local communities hold knowledge and the answers we need, and they must be part of the solution.” In areas like the Amazon rainforest, communities in the most vulnerable situations – who have done the least to cause the nature crisis – experience the greatest impact. We can’t let this continue. Do you want to see action for people and nature? Share this post and tell leaders to protect forests! UN Environment Programme #UNGA
