Rebellion against the environmental protection proposed by the West. "This is green colonialism"

Scientists warn that Earth is on the brink of a sixth mass extinction, with wild species populations declining by 73% over the past 50 years. Climate change and extreme weather events threaten biodiversity, while indigenous communities, despite occupying only 22-25% of the planet, hold 80% of its biological diversity. Their sustainable practices have proven effective in preserving ecosystems, as seen in the Amazon rainforest. A recent study highlights the cultural practices of indigenous peoples that contribute to climate and biodiversity benefits. However, these communities face significant challenges, including poverty and environmental injustice, and receive less than 1% of global climate funding. Their territories are often exploited under the guise of conservation, leading to a loss of invaluable traditional knowledge and practices.
