"There is another alternative to conservation"

Do you think turning 30% of the Earth into Protected Areas will help stop climate change? And nature-based solutions sound like part of the answer too?

In the run-up to the ground-breaking "Our land, our nature" congress, we asked leading experts and activists from around the world to explain just what’s wrong with “conservation.” Watch, then help us stop the biggest land grab in history, from those who are least responsible for the climate crisis – Indigenous peoples, who protect 80% of the world’s biodiversity, and other local peoples.

Here, Jean-Christophe Bokika, president of the NGO Mbou-Mon-Tour (DRC), explains why a conservation action carried out without local communities has no chance of success, and puts forward a community alternative.
