🌟"For centuries, Indigenous peoples have cared for our lands, waters, and resources, drawing on wisdom, knowledge, and values passed down through generations. Yet today, our territories and lives are under constant threat—from land grabbing to violence..." @JoanCarling
✨🏆 It fills us with joy to announce that Joan Carling, IPRI’s Executive Director, has made history as the first Filipino Indigenous activist to receive the 2024 @rightlivelihood Award – a prestigious honour celebrating courageous change-makers since 1980. “This award is not only for myself but for all Indigenous peoples and defenders around the world who stand on the frontlines of justice and environmental protection. This recognition is a powerful affirmation of our struggles, resilience, and the essential role we play in safeguarding the Earth for future generations..” – @JoanCarling We need solidarity, commitment and actions to ensure that the rights of Indigenous peoples are upheld, that our lands are protected, and that we are free from persecution for defending them for the benefit of humanity as a whole💚
