Welcome to CICADA – Centre for Indigenous Conservation and Development Alternatives
We are a multidisciplinary research centre that targets the conceptual and practical potential of indigenous peoples’ collective ‘life projects’ to generate innovative regimes of environmental protection and alternative visions of development. We bring together the projects and programs of more than seventy regular members and collaborators, representing great depth of experience in partnered research with indigenous peoples globally. Particular comparative emphasis is placed on the Americas, the Circumpolar Region, Africa, and Oceania. Learn more
