Indigenous peoples possess rich, ancient cultures and see their social, economic, environmental, and spiritual systems as interconnected. Their traditional knowledge and understanding of ecosystem management contribute greatly to global heritage. However, they remain among the most vulnerable and marginalized groups. It is crucial to ensure their voices are heard, their rights upheld, and their well-being enhanced. On International Human Solidarity Day, we call for solidarity in advocating for the preservation of Indigenous cultures, lands, and traditions.
