Scaling up Recognition of Collective Land Rights and Locally Led Conservation in the Tropical Andes

This initiative will accelerate community-level action to advance rights and conservation, strengthen local organizational capacity, establish a community-based monitoring and reporting system, track global progress on securing community rights and conservation, and foster strategic coordination between Indigenous Peoples, local communities, and Afro-descendant Peoples. It will be implemented in coordination with COICA (Coordinator of Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon River Basin), and other rightsholders and women’s networks from RRI’s coalition in the Tropical Andes.
