In native populations lands deforestation rates may be 26% lower compared to other areas, British researchers say. In Africa, they also perform better than protected areas<\/h2>\n

In the world, areas managed by indigenous<\/strong> people experience a lower deforestation rate compared to other tropical territories, a research<\/a> by the University of Shieffield<\/strong> said. The survey, published<\/a> in Nature Sustainability, has focused on several territories in Asia, Latin America and Africa where conservation efforts by indigenous communities has generally proved no less effective than those of the authorities controlling protected areas. The destruction of forest areas, says the study, is causing increasing concern. At COP26<\/strong> in Glasgow, governments pledged to allocate $19 billion<\/strong> to stop the process by 2030.<\/p>\n

Briefly, we found that across the tropics, Indigenous lands have lower deforestation and degradation than comparable non-protected areas. Compared to how PAs reduce def. and deg., results differ between continents. (2\/9) pic.twitter.com\/S16lT1FJL1<\/a><\/p>\n
