Hi! (testing for GGRC)

*But* I am absolutely interested to suggest means of making GGRC more inclusive.
Ideas that come to mind: connect groups, associations and networks that focus on conservation work done by minority groups;
Pay special attention to issues of interseccionality (not sure how to write that in ENG) – for e.g. looking at gender + ethnicity; gender + sexual orientation; and so on;
Perhaps having a sociodemographic profile of projects already part of the GGRC could give you (and users) real time data on how inclusive GGRC is.

Forget about ‘tokenism’ (like making sure you have different profiles ‘represented’) and focus on fairness. How many initiatives are led by people of color? Women? Indigenous or traditional communities? In these cases, it’s not only about ticking a box but truly making sure the platform reflects the world outside.

Perhaps, in the future, have specific funding opportunities related to conservation work led by minority groups?
Well.. those pop in my mind now. But I can also give further consideration and thought and happy to discuss more in the future.

I really like how the EJF engage with local voices and communities to broadcast their stories and conservation issues/solutions to the world. You might wanna take a look at their website

Hi everyone!! I´m currently working on the development of a green recovery project proposal. Our strategy will be to support indigenous people in the establishment of agroforestry systems to improve their livelihoods and strengthen their leadership capacity. One of our aims is to increase the participation of women in their decision-making processes. To achieve this, we are planning a series of training workshops and meetings for women. The culture of this indigenous group normally gives men the decision-making authority. So increasing the participation of women is complex given the cultural context and I feel like the activities that we are planning would fall short and would only contribute very little towards our objective. Could anyone share some advise or lessons learnt on the topic? Thank you in advance!!
