TOOLS FOR INDIGENOUS ADVOCATES

“Despite only stewarding 22% of the world’s land, Indigenous territories protect 80% of the planet’s biodiversity. These lands are also estimated to contain 36% of the world’s remaining intact forests.”

—Fitri Arianti, Rainforest Action Network using World Bank data
"There is never a buyer for something that doesn't exist. But there are buyers for things that are brought into existence."

—Douglas Gayeton
“We advocate biodiversity for biodiversity's sake. It may take our extinction to set things straight.”

—David Foreman
“Scientists were startled in 1980 by the discovery of a tremendous diversity of insects in tropical forests. In one study of just 19 trees in Panama, 80% of the 1,200 beetle species discovered were previously unknown to science... Surprisingly, scientists have a better understanding of how many stars there are in the galaxy than how many species there are on Earth.”

—World Resources Institute
“The rapid loss of species we are seeing today is estimated by experts to be between 1,000 and 10,000 times higher than the natural extinction rate.”

—World Wildlife Fund
“Drug discovery from wild species has always been, and will continue to be one of the most critical for most if not all aspects of health care, disease prevention, and wellness.”

—Neergheen-Bhujun et al., Journal of Global Health
“It is essential that international markets focused on biodiversity provide a means of livelihood and empowerment for indigenous peoples who have preserved their ecosystems. For this reason, biodiversity credits are a reasonable and viable way to generate non-hierarchical and decentralized employment in this population sector, which is focused on conserving and protecting forest biodiversity”

—Fernando Ayerbe
