Podcast: Rights to millions of hectares of Indigenous & local communities’ lands restored by ‘barefoot lawyers’

Mike DiGirolamo, Mongabay

Our executive director Nonette Royo spoke with Mongabay from the United Nations climate summit, COP30, in Belém, Brazil. In their conversation Nonette dives into why land rights are so crucial both for cultural survival and slowing the pace of global ecological degradation, as well as the progress being made in this movement, lessons learned, and the forward-looking steps we at Tenure Facility will take to keep supporting our partners and the broader tenure rights movement.

“This work is really about land tenure, and about land and people. And it is very important because at this point in our world, where we are breaching planetary boundaries, we are still hesitating to invest in the people who protect our land, our forests and our diverse systems.” Nonette Royo.
