📣 STAFF SPOTLIGHT: Meet Corey Creedon, Landesa’s Sustainable Land Use & Livelihoods Specialist, based in the United States. Corey began working for Landesa in 2022. 💬 Describe your vision for a better world. "My vision for a better world involves one which is centered on achieving and maintaining social and environmental justice (and the absence of injustice), including with an emphasis on land rights, human rights, and climate change action—and a future in which our species more profoundly recognizes our interconnectedness with the natural world and lives in harmony with it, thereby achieving both human and ecological health and wellbeing. This better world would also feature more love and less hate." 👉Learn more about Corey Creedon here: https://lnkd.in/gfnjRDNY

Congratulations to Amazon Frontlines for receiving the 2024 Conrad N. Hilton Foundation Humanitarian Prize and being the first organization of Indigenous and Western human rights and climate activists to win the award! Welcome to the Hilton Prize Laureate family ❤️ We are excited to see this amazing organization recognized for their work on land rights, especially for Indigenous communities. Learn more about Amazon Frontlines and their great work here: https://lnkd.in/gwi6dUxq #LandRights #HiltonPrize
We’re thrilled to announce Amazon Frontlines as the 2024 Conrad N. Hilton Humanitarian Prize recipient. More than a decade ago, Amazon Frontlines was co-founded by Mitch Anderson, and Indigenous leaders like Nemonte Nenquimo to partner with communities and Indigenous nations to protect millions of acres of critical rainforest territories in the Amazon from further mining, drilling and deforestation using grassroots action, legal defense, and technology. This work is vital for the Amazon’s biodiversity and our planet’s future. “The Prize is a recognition of that work, and an acknowledgement that without the Amazon, there is no future. My life, the lives of my family and people, our homes, our culture, our language, the lives of myriad plant and animal species—many of which are endemic to the Amazon, the life of the forest itself, and the lives of millions of people all depend on it," says Co-Founder Nemonte Nenquimo.

🌍 Today is International Day of the World's Indigenous Peoples! ✊Landesa is proud to work with partners around the globe to ensure that Indigenous Peoples' rights to land are recognized and upheld. 💭In Cambodia's Ratanakiri Province, we are supporting a series of meetings organized by our partner ICSO, where Indigenous communities and their land committees are gaining essential knowledge to safeguard their land rights. 📜By collaborating with Indigenous communities to analyze land documents, review maps, and navigate the process of Indigenous community recognition, we are dedicated to strengthening the protection of land rights for all. 👉Scroll through photos from three of these meetings, where women notably made up over 60% of the participants. #IndigenousPeoplesDay #LandRights #WomensLandRights

Living in India, I am amazed by how smart, turly innovative and diligent people are here in Bengaluru, the IT Capital. As I travel to the rural areas of our country and see the plight of farmers, especially women, who experience dire poverty, I realize that they too are resilient, entrepreneurial and incredibly intelligent. What is lacking is equal opportunity. Landlessness is a better predictor of poverty, in India, than illiteracy or membership in a scheduled caste or tribe. Secure Land rights is the great equalizer. With Landesa's help, these women have taken their opportunity and capitalized on it! Landesa promotes land literacy training and then porvides a few select women with training on land records and computers. These women then set up Land Consultancy Centers, called Sangha Centers. Landesa now has over 100 of these centers all over West Bengal. These women are not only providing remote villagers with easy, affordable, access to their land records but earning 1/4 to 1/3 of their family incomes! Landesa is now wanting to expand the program to 2 other Indian States. Let me know if you want more information. #Landislife, #Landesa #WomenEmpowered

🌱Land in India is in high demand and often disputed. ⚡With limited space, it must accommodate a growing population's needs for farming, infrastructure, industry, housing, conservation, and now, energy production. 👉Read the full India Development Review (IDR) article by Pinaki Halder, Landesa's senior land tenure advisor for the Asia region, on making land accessible for renewable energy: https://lnkd.in/d7tpg-sF #LandRights #RenewableEnergy
