| dc.description | In many parts of Central America you see a great overlap between the intact forests and the
indigenous peoples territories, as the indigenous peoples have been living in these areas for
generations and have fought to defend their territories from outside invasion and
overexploitation. Strengthening the indigenous peoples may therefore be the best strategy to
ensure a long-term conservation of those natural resources. Forests of the World and MOPAWI
are working with two indigenous peoples in Honduras, the Miskitu and Tolupan peoples, to
conserve forest ecosystems through a combined focus on land rights, institutional strengthening
and sustainable management of natural resources. | en_US |
