More than 8000 Indigenous people gathered in Brazilia this week for the 20th year in a row. They delivered 25 demands to the government, congress and court, demanding recognition and demarcation of their lands and respect and protection of Indigenous rights.

Great event with partners at #UNPFII on how #IndigenousPeoples' self-governance in the Amazon and the protection of peoples in voluntary isolation is key to halt #biodiversity loss. This needs to be reflected in governments' strategies to implement #GBF and achieve #30by30
20 years ago we supported setting up Peru’s first control post Monte Salvado to protect indigenous people in isolation. Now this is becoming a cross border initiative involving communities in both Peru and Brazil. Great interview with our partner @OrpioA.

Great story from @ClimateHome on how #IndigenousPeoples are working to receive more direct #climate finance. climatechangenews.com/2024/0…
The story cites our new Path to Scale dashboard and funding brief, which shows that while funding for Indigenous and local communities rose with 36% since 2020, there is no evidence of a systematic shift towards direct funding. Check it out: dashboard.pathtoscale.org/

Great story by @Sonamlamahyolmo and @LatoyaAbulu in @MongabayLatam on our new online tool The Path to Scale Dashboard, that we have developed with @RightsResources, tracking funding to Indigenous, Afro-descendant and local communities.

#FashionCrimes, from @earthsight, reveals how clothes made with cotton are linked to land grabbing, #deforestation and #HumanRightsViolations in #Brazil .🇧🇷
The EU is the largest importer of clothing globally and the consequences are devastating.
New launch: RFN and @RightsResources are thrilled to launch the #PathtoScale dashboard—an open-source online tool giving access to donor funding data for the first time for Indigenous Peoples’ and local communities’ rights and forest guardianship.

An analysis of the dashboard’s data finds that although funding between 2020–2023 was up 36%—averaging US $517 million per year. Most of this increase, 72 %, was driven by the US$1.7 bn IPLC Forest Tenure Pledge from #CoP26 in 2021.
The world is not on track to end deforestation by 2030. Despite a welcoming decline of 9% in the loss of primary forests in the tropics, deforestation globally rose 3.2% in 2023, according to an analysis by @globalforests. More action needed! @jakespring reuters.com/world/tropical-f…
Congratulations to our partner in #Peru @Ideele for the ground breaking victory in #Loreto court granting the Marañón River legal rights. A great reward after years of struggle from Kukama indigenous women to protect the river and their livelihood.

We are meeting in Kinshasa with partners to discuss how our Forest Facility can ensure that adequate funding is directed towards IPLC led #rainforest projects. Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities play a critical role in protecting #climate and #nature. @RFN_RDCongo 🌍
Studies show that less than one percent of global climate funds end up in the hands of local and Indigenous communities. This means missing out on unique opportunities, as these communities are highly efficient conservators of their own homes, the forests.regnskog.no/en/saving-the-co…
