Our Approach

Across this network, Indigenous peoples and allied organizations unite to confront the challenges that endanger our lands, forests, and ways of life. Through shared action and strong alliances, we defend our territories and build paths toward a more balanced and just future.

Our Strategies

Center the voices of forest defenders, making our struggles, our visions, and our relationship with nature, society, and the future more visible.

Remind the world that there’s no climate justice without justice for Indigenous peoples, and that the climate crisis can’t be solved with the same mindset of extraction and exploitation that created it.

Shine a light on grassroots alternatives that are forging paths of autonomy, resilience, and ecological balance while challenging the systems that harm our lands and lives.

Put community leaders and their initiatives at the heart of the conversation, recognizing their role not only as sources of knowledge but as creators of solutions and political action.

Strengthen cross-border alliances to keep working together for a future of balance and care for the planet.
