Ecology is a governance issue. 🌱

When I translate territorial disputes for Mongabay, I don't just translate the 'nature' words. I translate the legal mechanisms of enclosure. From Rapa Nui to Peru, the fight for the land is a fight for legal definition. We need to audit the laws of conservation as strictly as the laws of finance.

Standy Christianto, Destano Anugerahnu and Krismelia Y. Panji of the Borneo Institute, with Cristian Moreno Garcia of Weltweit e.V., on their work with Dayak communities in Central Kalimantan.

Two strands: legal empowerment, so communities can advocate for their own land rights, and preserving indigenous crop diversity, which keeps them self-sufficient.
