The connection between biodiversity and climate change is fundamental, and indigenous peoples have a crucial role in this conversation. Jhoe Sauca, as indigenous spokesperson at COP16, highlights the importance of ancestral knowledge in the fight to defend Mother Earth.

Regarding ancestral knowledge, indigenous peoples have lived in harmony with nature for millennia. Knowledge about the sustainable management of natural resources is vital to addressing the challenges of climate change. This includes traditional practices, ecosystem conservation and respect for biodiversity, which are essential to maintain ecological balance.

For this reason, in the articulation of actions, the voice of indigenous leaders like Jhoe Sauca is essential to articulate actions and policies that benefit both Mother Earth and humanity. The people of the world not only bring a unique perspective on environmental care, but also advocate for a more inclusive and fair approach to climate policies.

Furthermore, as climate change advances, many indigenous peoples face direct threats to their territories and ways of life. The loss of biodiversity, rising temperatures and extreme climate events impact its ability to sustain itself. Therefore, their participation in global forums such as COP16 is crucial to make these realities visible and propose solutions based on knowledge.

In this case, the statements of indigenous leaders at international events are a call to action for everyone. It is a reminder that the fight against climate change cannot be effective without including those who have been the guardians of nature. Collaboration between governments, organizations and indigenous peoples is key to developing policies that truly protect living spaces.

In conclusion, Jhoe Sauca’s intervention resonates strongly and invites you to reflect on how each of us can contribute to the well-being of the planet.
