PETITION TO AFRICAN GOVERNMENTS:
Indigenous Environment Defenders.
Africa’s hunter-gatherer and nomadic pastoralist peoples have
lived symbiotically and sustainably within Africa’s ecosystems for millenia. Their Traditional Knowledge Systems are treasure houses of
indigenous knowledge.
Under colonialism, African hunters and nomads suffered land
dispossession and cultural oppression. In the post-colonial era, they’ve advocated for their land,
cultural and human rights.
Now, in this Age of Climate Change, Africa’s hunter-gatherer and
nomadic pastoralist peoples are recognised as frontline guardians and managers
of African biodiversity, and provide early warning for climate change trends.
We appeal to African governments to formally recognise the
Traditional Knowledge Systems and practices of hunters and nomads.
