Indigenous Land Management Plans
The Indigenous Land Management Plans are coordinated by the civil association Kanindé, with the participation of indigenous people and researchers, the latter both from the indigenous communities and outsiders. The purpose of these plans is to generate knowledge in the communities about the potential of their lands, and to plan collectively the actions to be developed on these lands, so that the people can make informed decisions about what they consider best for their land, their resources and their communities. For the elaboration of the management plans, the first stage is the elaboration of an ethno-environmental assessment, in which information regarding land biodiversity, socioeconomic and cultural factors is gathered. Professional researchers, members of Kanindé, and members of the communities are involved in the assessment. The assessment is then validated by the communities and a planning process is carried out.
