It’s international biodiversity day! On this day it is important to remember that those best equipped to protect an area’s biodiversity are often local Indigenous communities that understand their home’s intricate lifeworlds. Standing with land defenders is standing for biodiversity.
C'est la journée internationale de la biodiversité ! En ce jour, il est important de se rappeler que les personnes les mieux équipées pour protéger la biodiversité d'une région sont souvent les communautés autochtones locales qui comprennent les mondes complexes de leur maison. Se tenir aux côtés des défenseurs de la terre, c'est se tenir pour la biodiversité.
¡Es el dĂa internacional de la biodiversidad! En este dĂa, es importante recordar que quienes están mejor equipados para proteger la biodiversidad de un área suelen ser las comunidades indĂgenas locales que comprenden los intrincados mundos de vida de sus hogares. Apoyar a los defensores de la tierra es defender la biodiversidad.

Today, at 3:30 pm EDT: U.N. Water Conference - Rights of Nature: The missing connection to enhance and implement the SDGs on Water.
The Rights of Nature will have a voice during this year’s U.N. Water Conference held in New York. On Friday, March 24, 2023, the “Rights of Nature: The missing connection to enhance and implement the SDGs on Water” event will take place at the U.N. Headquarters at 3.30 PM.
This event will explore why the Rights of Nature framework presents a powerful legal, non-anthropocentric, holistic tool for water restoration and protection, and how an Earth Rights-based approach to Nature can help meet and complement the global goals and objectives of restoration and protection of water ecosystems, as well as ensure water for the environment, effective governance and the maintenance of the ecosystem’s life cycle in benefit of Nature. This will be presented through several cases of rights-bearing aquatic ecosystems.

We at CICADA wish to offer a hearty congratulations to CICADA’s director, Colin Scott, who has been awarded the 2023 Weaver-Tremblay award in Canadian Applied Anthropology from the Canadian Anthropology Society (CASCA) for his “longstanding commitments to the territorial rights, sovereignty, and self-determination of Indigenous peoples in Canada.” This is a prestigious award in Canadian Anthropology, given to anthropologists whose careers demonstrate intellectual rigor, public service and activism. The award recognizes the importance of anthropologists taking “public positions on matters of social and political concern, particularly in cases which impact directly on those who have been the traditional subject of anthropological study.” Colin’s work on relational ontologies and epistemologies is cited as offering a “guide” and “inspiration” for the next generation of scholars.
