Inclusive Conservation Consultation: Africa, Russia, & the Arctic

The Tribal Link Foundation, Inc. is leading consultations on the co-creation of an Inclusive Conservation Academy (ICA) to build capacity in the area of inclusive conservation amongst Indigenous Peoples and local communities, as well as conservation NGOs, government, donors, academia, and the private sector. The idea of the ICA has come forward from collaborations between World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) and IPLC organizations while developing the initiative of People Protecting Landscapes and Seascapes that support the shift towards inclusive conservation.

An important, innovative feature of the ICA is that it will be co-created with IPLC leaders, as well as other pioneering CSOs involved in inclusive and rights-based approaches to development and IPLC content matter experts on the themes of equity and social justice. Another innovation is that the ICA will endeavor to create a pool of trainers that would include experienced IPLCs as “faculty” members who are able to strengthen the inclusive conservation capacities of conservation organizations, the private sector, and governments as well the relevant skills of their colleague IPLC leaders in order to scale.

To help develop these innovations, Tribal Link Foundation and WWF are collaborating to organize 3 consultations with Indigenous Peoples, and Local Communities (IPLC), as well as relevant stakeholders in 2021. The objectives of these consultations are to: a) to report on and catalog best practices, challenges, and gaps in conservation, b) to identify areas and approaches for capacity building initiatives, and c) learn and provide recommendations on how Indigenous Peoples can take the lead in building capacity in inclusive conservation and to practices and their impacts on indigenous people and local communities.

We are inviting Indigenous Peoples to be a part of our online dialogue for Africa, Russia, and the Arctic on Thursday, June 10, 2021, from 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM (EDT); 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM (Kenya); 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM (Moscow); 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM (Norway). Interpretation will be available in English, French and Russian.

Membership

The Expert Mechanism is composed of seven independent experts on the rights of indigenous peoples. The experts are appointed by the Human Rights Council which is to give due regard to recognized competence and experience in the rights of indigenous peoples, experts of indigenous origin, and gender balance.
