Abstract
Our life depends on nature and we contribute to nature through nurturing. This symbiotic relationship is something all of us are beginning to understand more and more. Since millennia, Indigenous Peoples have been protecting their environment and biodiversity. Today scientists are telling us that 80 percent of the remaining world’s biodiversity is in our lands and territories. We didn’t know this. Our ancestors did not know about biodiversity, ecology, ecosystem services or CO2 trapping, but they knew that protecting the ecosystems, environment and biodiversity were essential for our wellbeing and sustainability. Our elders, mothers and fathers taught us this as a way to exhibit good behaviour in the community.
