We must pay tribute to Indigenous Peoples around the world, tireless guardians of our Mother Earth. We highlight their rich cultures, emphasizing the transmission of ancestral wisdom to the younger generations, recognizing the fundamental role played by the elderly, women, and youth.
Indigenous Peoples, with their ancient cultures and traditions, have the right to self-determination, which allows them to freely determine their political status and pursue their economic, social, and cultural development. In addition, in the exercise of this right, they have the power to govern themselves internally and manage their local affairs, as well as ensure the necessary resources for their autonomy.
As we approach the Summit of the Sustainable Development Goals in September 2023, we must reread the contributions made by Indigenous Peoples and recognize their invaluable contributions made, in the preservation of our mother earth that contains forests tropical, savannas, arctic regions, coastal ecosystems and bodies of fresh water and of course a rich biodiversity. Together, they are contributing to a sustainable future and remind us of the importance of self-determination and cultural preservation.
The Indigenous Peoples, have self-imposed the mandate to be the guardians of mother earth since ancient times for the care of mother earth, as humanity we are facing a triple planetary crisis: Climate Change, Loss of Biodiversity and Pollution, however the Peoples Indigenous continue with their mandate to be the guardians of mother earth.
The SDGs must be managed with interculturality and Indigenous Peoples as holders of rights must be legally recognized, including in full respect and protection of their individual and collective rights, concrete actions to end their discrimination, as affirmed by rights instruments. human resources and above all to ensure resources for the continuity of the care of Mother Earth.
