The rights of Indigenous groups and communities do not always make headlines, but a new initiative aims to change that. Today, more than 300 individuals and organizations launched the Global Call to Action on Indigenous and Community Land Rights (GCA). The campaign aims to double the amount of land legally recognized as owned or controlled by Indigenous Peoples and communities by 2020, and eventually, secure lands for all communities and Indigenous Peoples. Securing this land can not only protect indigenous and community groups’ livelihoods, it can help foster more sustainable development and combat climate change.
