Session Description

This session explores how the GEF and multilateral institutions can better support Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLCs) in biodiversity conservation. It highlights successful IPLC-led initiatives from Brazil, Peru, and the Philippines, showcasing inclusive conservation strategies that go beyond protected areas. Participants will learn about funding mechanisms, governance models, and best practices that empower IPLCs to lead conservation efforts while preserving their cultural and traditional knowledge. The session is ideal for policymakers, funders, and conservation practitioners looking to strengthen IPLC leadership in global biodiversity action
