Conservation is People
One third of the world’s poorest people are indigenous— and they are crucial partners in achieving sustainable development. Indigenous people and rural communities particularly depend on nature for income, food, medicine, fuel and as parts of their cultural and spiritual identities. USAID’s conservation programs encourage the participation of local communities, including indigenous peoples, to incorporate traditional knowledge, strengthen institutions and respect historic lands.
