When we are sick, we use herbs found in the forest. We live with the forest, we protect it. We live with the water, we protect it. This helps us to have balance in everything whether it is food, belief, and conservation. #FromAgreementtoAction

If #30By30 target doesn't recognize #IndigenousPeoples & their territories, it will lead to expansive land confiscations & #HumanRights violations. This will be worse in countries like Myanmar because of military dictatorships. - Paul Sein Twa, Salween Peace Park @goldmanprize
