Why the most effective conservation starts with Indigenous stewardship
In short: Instead of imposing top-down policies, conservation champion Adjany Costa argues for a model that empowers those who know the land best to lead environmental protection efforts.
TED Fellow Adjany Costa presents a roadmap for Indigenous communities to reclaim ownership of their heritage and land stewardship. She argues that true community-based conservation avoids pre-designed plans, instead allowing local people to tailor solutions to their specific environmental, social, and economic realities. This approach aims to foster fierce independence through local empowerment.
