"The abuse of tribal peoples should concern everyone who believes in justice over the might of the majority
Of all the different ways of being human in the world today, most are tribal. The same goes for all the planet's languages. Tribal peoples offer everyone unique visions of what it means to be human, and of humanity's place in the world. Without them, we are all poorer.
And tribal people are the best guardians of the natural world. Where they have been allowed to continue living on their lands, forest cover and biodiversity can be much higher than in other kinds of protected areas. Many tribal people know something that many of us have forgotten: that we are not separate from nature."
