Dear supporters,
Representatives of the Prey Lang Commnity Network and other forest advocates in Cambodia have travelled to Colombia to participate in COP16. This is a valuable opportunity for learnning from other forest advocates around the world and sharing experiences from Cambodia.
"I am excited to participate in COP16 in Cali, Colombia - a valuable opportunity for PLCN to engage on the international sage. Different side events adn workshops are full of people discussing natural resources, biodiversity, cultures, and traditions. Indigenous Peple and Local Communities, particularl in Colombia and Brazil, are rightfully recognizing for their customs and are supported by their governments with funding for their conservation efforts," said one member.
According to their joint statement, the PLCN 'seeks the freedom to actively participate in protecting natural resources, biodiversity, and the traditions of our Inidgenous people. Attending this global summit and advocating for the UN Convention on Biological Diversity is one of the many ways to promote protection of forests and recognition of the rights of Indigenous peoples, women, youth, and religious groups in living and protecting the forest.
