SFM Catalyzing the Contribution of Indigenous Lands to the Conservation of Brazil's Forest Ecosystems

Project Objective: The project will catalyze the consolidation of Indigenous Lands (ILs) as essential protected areas for the conservation of biodiversity in Brazilian forest ecosystems and as a constituent part of the National Protected Areas Plan and Indigenous Peoples Environmental Management Policies. To that end, the project will put in place a ground-tested and officially recognized strategy for environmental management in Indigenous Lands (IL) by Indigenous Peoples (IP) for the effective conservation and sustainable use of forest biodiversity.
