Over 500 million of us on the planet and yet our voices, customs and languages are becoming extinct. We are either exotic or uncivilized to the "Western gaze". It's time to change that. It is time that our stories, traditions and values get a space in the global conversation.

We conducted a workshop in collaboration with the International Forestry Students Association (IFSA), where we shared our organization's mission, methodologies, and strategies for empowering indigenous peoples. During the workshop, we engaged in constructive dialogue and information-sharing with the participants on the importance of prioritizing the perspectives and needs of indigenous communities in forest conservation and management. We also highlighted the critical role that youth can play in advocating for indigenous rights and environmental sustainability. The workshop was an excellent opportunity to raise awareness and build alliances towards our shared goals. Through this collaboration, we hope to inspire the next generation of forestry professionals and engage them in building a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
