Women's Land Rights at COP16: the Key to Equitable and Effective Conservation
31 October 2024
We, rural women from across the world play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation due to our deep-rooted knowledge of local ecosystems, traditional agricultural practices, and community-centred approaches to resource management.
Here, at COP16 we come together to demand our rights to land, as they are critical to continue our conservation work. Secure land tenure is the foundation that allows us to invest in sustainable practices, protect natural resources, and maintain biodiversity.
