WGII represented by the Deputy National Coordinator of JKPP participates in the XV World Forestry Congress 2022
The Spatial Protection Target- 30×30, can have a significant impact on indigenous and local communities, while there is a large gap between global commitments and national implementation. The 30×30 target is too ambitious and will not be achieved without recognizing the contribution of indigenous and local communities in forest conservation. A human rights-based approach means conservation policies mean no violence and recognizing indigenous and local communities in their contribution to forest conservation.
