Eighty percent of the world's biodiversity is within Indigenous territories, yet these communities often don't have a say when it comes to protecting the lands they inhabit. Environmental activist Jupta Itoewaki explains why Indigenous peoples are best positioned to lead the world's efforts to preserve nature and maintain a habitable planet -- and reminds us of their outsized importance in charting a sustainable future.

This woman is able to: - advocate for her values; - joke about a traumatic past; - laugh about patronising foreigners; In a language that's not her own. I'm humbled and grateful to have the opportunity to listen to her. Thank you TED.

it is refreshing to listen to other perspectives. It is us "the civilized world" who are really at odds with nature and still we have the nerve to preach. (her line of going to their home to preach is absolutely brilliant). i don't know were to start but listening much more to people like Jupta is very necessary i hope we see more of this at TED

This presentation touched me in ways TED talks rarely do. So refreshing. Jupta is completely authentic and unfettered by catch phrases and affectations. I sincerely hope she keeps on track to her goals.

What an amazing talk from a fantastic young woman 🤩🤩🤩 she talks the truth we all need to take notice of, clearly indigenous people have the knowledge for getting back in touch with our roots and away from the madness that our “modern” and “cultured” societies have brought us to! Thank you to you🙏

This is so beautiful and it is both triumphant and tragic. The momentum of the global machine will not be stopped as long as those driving it care more about their own interest than the interests of all.

And they will ALWAYS care more about their own interests. We are extremely unimportant to the elite. I’m so thankful that we can still hear and witness stories like the ones here, though, while we can.

I couldn't LOVE THIS anymore than I do at this moment in time right now!!! Dear Lady, your name in no way has any business colliding with the word trash in a sentence said by ANYONE, at ANYTIME OR FOR ANY REASON. EVER. You're recycled...LOVE IT!!! You are NOT defined based upon anyone else's CHOICE to be and to remain ignorant. The damage deliberately and purposely caused to the ENTITRE Earth, her many peoples, cultures, etc being justified and disguised by one single word - PROGRESS -by our species is inexcusable and selfish. I have not referred to people using the words humanity or human beings for many years now. Why? Because there is NOTHING about the way we treat EACH OTHER OR ANYTHING IN WHAT'S LEFT OF THE NATURAL WORLD AROUND US IN EVERY WAY THAT IS HUMANE. NOTHING. One person's "progress" is another person's way to try to rationalize and justify destroying what is considered to inconvenient and in their way. Not unlike any other parasitic infection that untreated or not kept in check, leaves nothing but ruin, chaos and destruction in its wake. Nothing more, nothing less. In my not so humble opinion. Well done Jupta! Very well done indeed!!! ❤ ~ APRIL LIPKE
