Les peuples autochtones et les communautés locales vivent sur plus de la moitié des terres du monde et en assurent la gestion, mais ils n’en possèdent légalement que 10 % de leurs territoires ancestraux. Ces zones riches en biodiversité sont essentielles tant pour les populations qui en prennent soin que pour la planète que nous partageons tous. Réduire les conflits fonciers, promouvoir les droits humains, favoriser le développement et contribuer à des solutions climatiques durables peuvent tous commencer par le renforcement des droits fonciers communautaires. La Tenure Facility travaille aux côtés des peuples autochtones et des communautés locales pour faire progresser leurs droits fonciers collectifs tout en partageant les connaissances, les innovations et les outils qui en découlent.
Notre travailles
At the Tenure Facility, our goal is simple: we work with indigenous and local communities across the developing world so they can thrive, and expand the sustainable management and protection of their forests and lands for the betterment of themselves and global society as a whole.
How we work
The Tenure Facility provides grants and technical assistance directly to Indigenous Peoples, local communities and their partners, to support their struggle for land reform and secure tenure, with a particular focus on mitigating climate change, reducing conflict and promoting gender equality.
About us
Over 2.5 billion people from Indigenous Peoples and local communities live on and manage more than 50% of the world’s land area through customary or traditional systems, including some of the most important and biodiverse forest areas in the world. Despite existing laws that secure their rights, they have formal legal ownership of only 10% of this land, with some degree of government-recognised management rights over an additional 8%.
