The rights way forward: reconciling the right to food with biodiversity conservation

Winy Vasquez et al.

Summary: The current paradigm of biodiversity conservation has resulted in the separation of humans and nature, leading to the loss of both biological and cultural-linguistic diversity. The annexation of land for conservation has curtailed rights and access to local and diverse food sources for rural communities. Indigenous Peoples and local communities are crucial for conserving biodiversity through sustainable use of nature, and their traditional knowledge supports conservation and healthy diets. To achieve a just and sustainable future, conservation initiatives should focus on rights, access, and equity, while respecting diverse perspectives and knowledge systems.

Historical Indigenous Land-Use Explains Plant Functional Trait Diversity

Chelsey Geralda Armstrong et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the impact of ancient and historical Indigenous forest management on plant functional trait distributions and functional diversity in the Pacific Northwest, finding that forest gardens have higher plant and functional trait diversity compared to surrounding conifer forests, even more than 150 years after management ceased. The positive effects of Indigenous land use on contemporary functional and taxonomic diversity observed in this study provide strong evidence that Indigenous management practices are linked to ecosystem health and resilience.
