  • By Justin Catanoso Indigenous peoples and local communities scored perhaps the most tangible progress as the 16 United Nations, or COP16 concluded after three days of final negotiations in Rome on Feb.

The article from MSN discusses the resumed U.N. biodiversity conference in Rome, where Indigenous leaders expressed optimism about the progress made. The conference, which had been delayed due to the global health crisis, focuses on the post-2020 global biodiversity framework aimed at addressing the loss of biodiversity. Indigenous leaders are hopeful as the draft text now includes stronger language on the rights of Indigenous Peoples, recognizing their crucial role in conservation efforts. The discussions have highlighted the importance of Indigenous knowledge in managing ecosystems, with calls for more inclusive decision-making processes that involve Indigenous communities directly. There is also an emphasis on ensuring that any new biodiversity targets respect and incorporate Indigenous rights and practices, aiming for a more equitable and effective approach to global conservation efforts.
