Description
What does it take to move beyond consultation and build conservation partnerships with Indigenous Peoples that are grounded in trust, respect, and fundamental human rights? This webinar introduces the principles of Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) as articulated in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP) and explores how rights-based approaches can reshape conservation practice. Join us to learn how organizations can move beyond simply seeking input toward building meaningful, accountable partnerships that recognize Indigenous Peoples as rights holders, knowledge holders, and leaders in conservation.
