Nouveau rapport : Depuis 2015, les peuples autochtones, les peuples afrodescendants et les communautés locales ont obtenu la reconnaissance juridique de plus de 100 millions d’hectares de terres additionnels. Les membres de ces groupes détiennent désormais plus de 11 % de la superficie terrestre mondiale.

  • Entre 2015 et 2020, la superficie des terres communautaires jouissant d’une reconnaissance légale a augmenté dans au moins 39 pays.
