Amid global crises, we still have good news to share. This year, significant gains have been made for wild plants and animals. We've defeated pipelines, secured protections for endangered wildlife, and ended a decades-long battle over a disastrous water project in the West.

Indigenous communities continue to battle "fortress conservation" efforts that displace them and restrict access to their ancestral lands. This approach often conflicts with their traditional stewardship, despite Indigenous peoples being vital guardians of the Earth.

Though making up just over 6% of the global population, Indigenous peoples steward 25% of the Earth's surface and 40% of intact ecosystems. They protect 80% of the planet's remaining biodiversity, a direct result of their profound relationships with their territories.
