Indeed! Sad to see that WWF has a dubious policy AGAINST indigenous people redd-monitor.org/2019/03/13/…

i have serious doubts. there has to be a central push. ultimately indigenous people are also human. prone to biases suffering from Anthropocentrism even they will think more for themselves than nature. they would be better than capitalist corporates though

#IndigenousPeople remain the best friends of nature, when nature is hampered, they jump in with all their fibres to depend it
