Key barrier to advancing deforestation, thus mitigating climate change
There is a vast diversity of indigenous peoples in Latin America. According to CEPAL (2006), there are approximately 642 indigenous groups in the region, with a population fluctuating between 30 and 50 million and growing. In many countries in the region, such as Bolivia and Guatemala, the indigenous are the majority of the population. In Mexico, although not the majority, there are approximately 11 million indigenous.
Brazil´s indigenous lands occupy 250m acres or 5% of LAR, equivalent to two thirds of the Congo Basin forest, and help secure the largest tropical forest on earth.
Best-preserved areas acting as a barrier to advancing deforestation so mitigating climate change
estimated that there are 300 million people belonging to approximately 6,000 distinct indigenous and traditional peoples living in more than 70 countries. These account for roughly five percent of the world's population. Many of these people live in rural areas, where the majority of the world’s biodiversity also exists and, where the incidence of poverty is high, in particular amongst indigenous groups.
Cohen, 2003.
Toledo, 1992.
In Latin America alone, indigenous peoples represent 10% of the population, and while the incidence of poverty in the region is high, it is particularly severe among the indigenous population. (G. Hall and Patrinos, World Bank, 2005)
