** Indigenous Ecological Knowledge Is Essential in the Management of Forests and the Seafloor
------------------------------------------------------------

For Indigenous Peoples, there is no separation between our lives, cultures, and environments. The Earth is alive, and she has a spirit. She breathes, she bleeds, she cries, she has emotions. She nurtures us, and we heal her. She has lungs, she has bosoms, she gives birth, and she cleanses herself routinely. Our forests are home to the eldest trees on Earth that hold the wisdom of this planet. Read more. ([link removed]) En español. ([link removed])

** Indigenous Leaders Are Meeting with Members of the EU Parliament to Uphold Indigenous Peoples’ Rights through the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive
------------------------------------------------------------

A coalition of leading human rights, climate, and environmental organizations launched the global Lead The Charge campaign. The campaign encourages automakers to leverage the unprecedented opportunity offered by the electric vehicle (EV) transition to radically transform their supply chains to be equitable, sustainable, and 100% fossil free. It also raises awareness of the human and Indigenous Peoples’ rights, climate, and environmental impacts that occur throughout auto supply chains, focusing in particular on steel, aluminum, and batteries. As part of the launch, Lead the Charge unveiled an industry Leaderboard which analyzed the publicly available official reporting of 18 leading automotive manufacturers in the world, ranking their efforts to eliminate emissions, environmental harms, and human rights violations from their supply chains.

** Protecting Sacred Waters: Indigenous Communities Are Leading the Way

Indigenous communities are among the most affected by the water crisis. They depend on water for their livelihoods, cultural practices, and spiritual beliefs. Many Indigenous communities have a deep connection to water and view it as a sacred resource. However, they often face significant challenges in accessing safe and clean water due to historical injustices, economic marginalization, and environmental degradation, among other factors.

San Francisco Suc-Tuc, una comunidad Indígena en lucha por su autonomía ([link removed])
En San Francisco Suc-Tuc, municipio de Hopelchén, Campeche, México, en el año 2017 comenzó una lucha por la autonomía; esto ocurrió después de que líderes comunitarios se percataron del desvío de recursos económicos por parte de autoridades del Ayuntamiento, así como advirtieron la división que generan los partidos políticos al interior de las comunidades Indígenas. Hoy, después de varios años de lucha, y tras el injusto encarcelamiento de líderes comunitarios, en San Francisco Suc-Tuc se continúa caminando rumbo a la autonomía.
