INTRODUCTION
Welcome
Our partners have many different
words for their homelands, and the
waters, lands, and beings within these
places, which are some of the most
bioculturally diverse in the world. Yet
these places, cared for by Indigenous
Peoples since time immemorial, are
continually impacted by threats and
pressures from outside forces.
Scientists report about 40% of the world’s
remaining large, intact ecosystems are found
within Indigenous Peoples’ territories. Our shared
future on Earth depends on Indigenous Peoples’
long and continued guardianship of their homelands
and waters.
Nia Tero exists to support the self-determined
needs of Indigenous Peoples who sustain
thriving territories and cultures.
We are proud to share our
2024 annual report, highlighting
our work in partnership with
Indigenous guardians globally.
