Heute ist internationaler Tag der Indigenen Völker!
Indigene Völker nehmen eine zentrale und wertvolle Rolle ein im Zuge von Umwelt- und Artenschutz und im Kampf gegen die globale Klimakrise. Auch, wenn sie zunehmend in politische Entscheidungsfindungen einbezogen werden, sind ihre grundlegenden Menschenrechte stark bedroht und allzu oft der Willkür ausgeliefert oder abhängig vom guten Willen der Mächtigen. Weltweit leben sie in ständiger Gefahr, ihr Land und Leben zu verlieren. Auch mit unserem Konsum zertrampeln wir jenseits von Europa Lebensräume und erhöhen den Druck auf das Leben der Indigenen. Wir müssen den Kampf der Indigenen für ihr Land, ihre Wälder und ihre Rechte unterstützen!

Global Mobilisation to End the Criminalisation of Land Rights Defenders - Land Rights Now

The climate emergency is real. So how is it possible that those who have protected and still protect the Earth are being falsely accused of crimes and locked up in prison?
