krewllobster ( @krewllobster@beehaw.org ) 11•4 months agoan estimated 476 million Indigenous peoples dwell on lands that are home to 80 percent of the world’s biodiversity.
This seems important. This is a number not often talked about in aggregate, at least that I’ve seen. Recognizing my own dis-ease at feeling like I would have way underestimated that figure before reading.
livus ( @livus@kbin.social ) 5•4 months ago@krewllobster worth pointing out that in many cases one of the reasons the biodiversity still exists in those places is because they’re mainly just Indigenous people living there.
