Conservation champion and TED Fellow Adjany Costa is on a mission to empower Indigenous communities.
Instead of imposing pre-designed policy and plans on local people, she says, conservation efforts should center those who know the land best, enabling them to tailor solutions to their unique environmental, social and economic realities.
She presents a roadmap for Indigenous communities to take back ownership of their heritage and reclaim stewardship of their land. "Real community-based conservation ... fosters fierce independence," Costa says.
TED Fellow Adjany Costa is an Indigenous conservation champion.
