First, governments must formally recognize & enforce #IndigenousTerritories, making them off-limits to extractive industries.
Mapping is crucial, Bhattacharjee said, because identifying the approximate territories of #UncontactedIndigenous peoples allows governments to protect those areas from #logging or #mining. But, she added, it must be done with extreme caution & from a distance to avoid contact that could endanger the groups’ #health or #autonomy.

…Protecting uncontacted #IndigenousPeoples, experts say, will require both stronger laws & a shift in how the world views them — not as relics of the past, but as citizens of the planet whose survival affects everyone’s future.
Advocates have several recommendations.

“They don’t need anything from us. They’re happy in the forest. They have incredible knowledge & they help keep these very valuable forests standing—essential to all humanity in the fight against #ClimateChange,” Watson said.
Survival’s research shows that >95% of the world’s uncontacted #IndigenousPeoples live in the #Amazon, with smaller populations in South & Southeast Asia & the Pacific.

A new report by #SurvivalInternational, a London-based #IndigenousRights organization, attempts one of the broadest tallies yet, identifying at least 196 #UncontactedIndigenous groups in 10 countries, primarily in South American nations sharing the #AmazonRainforest. Released Sunday, the report estimates that nearly 65% face threats from #logging, ~40% from #mining & ~20% from #agribusiness.

#UncontactedIndigenous peoples & efforts to protect them
From the depths of Brazil’s Amazon to Indonesia’s rainforests, some of the world’s most isolated peoples are being squeezed by #roads, miners & drug traffickers—a crisis unfolding far from public view or effective state protection.

Blocking the industrial road would be an enormous victory for opponents who have argued for years that it would threaten #wildlife as well as #Alaska Native tribes that rely on hunting & fishing.
…The move comes as the #Biden admin tries to find a balance between 2 different & sometimes opposing goals.

The #Interior Dept will to announce that there should be “no action” on the federal land where the road known as the #AmblerAccessProject would be built…. A formal denial of the project will come later this year….
The road was essential to reach what is estimated to be a $7.5B copper deposit buried under #EcologicallySensitiveLand. There are currently no #mines in the area & no requests for permits have been filed w/the govt; the road was a first step.

The #Biden admin is expected to deny permission for a mining company to build a 211-mile #industrial #road through fragile #AlaskanWilderness, handing a victory to #environmentalists in an election yr when #POTUS wants to underscore his credentials as a #climate leader & #conservationist.
