Women's Land Rights at COP16: the Key to Equitable and Effective Conservation
We, rural women from across the world play a crucial role in biodiversity conservation due to our deep-rooted knowledge of local ecosystems, traditional agricultural practices, and community-centred approaches to resource management.
