Keepers Of Biodiversity: The Sarayaku People

🍃Kawsak Sacha—a groundbreaking vision by the Sarayaku People of Ecuador offers a powerful pathway to tackle biodiversity loss, climate change and our very relationship with the natural world. Kawsak Sacha, The Living Forest proposal calls for legal recognition of the forest as a "living being" with inherent rights.

By recognizing the forest's rights to exist, flourish, and regenerate, the Sarayaku People champion a model that protects biodiversity while addressing climate impacts. This proposal is a reminder that sustainable futures depend on Indigenous-led solutions and the protection of natural ecosystems.

🟢 Together, Mullu , Sarayaku Defensores de la Selva and Re:wild are urging world leaders at #COP16 to honor and protect Indigenous Peoples' knowledge, governance traditions, and stewardship of our planet’s vital ecosystems. This is essential for addressing the intertwined crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and human wellbeing.
