Únase a Planet Women para un evento interactivo especial con nuestro socio de subvención, Legado, una organización sin fines de lucro dirigida por mujeres que trabaja junto a las comunidades indígenas en el diseño e implementación de Planes de Legado, que son visiones holísticas para un futuro próspero que benefician tanto a los seres humanos como a la biodiversidad.
Habrá interpretación al español e inglés.
Planet Women Presents: Community-Led Legacy Planning
Indigenous communities protect much of the planet's remaining biodiversity, yet their perspectives are rarely included in development decisions. This has to change.
