Globally, several Indigenous communities are being displaced from their lands to make way for carbon capture and forest conservation projects. These initiatives, often presented as climate solutions, have led to land grabs and violations of Indigenous rights in various regions.

Here are some indigenous peoples across the globe going through various forms of evictions:

• San (Bushmen) of Botswana
• Baka Pygmies of Cameroon
• Endorois of Kenya
• Herero and Nama of Namibia
• Guarani-Kaiowá of Brazil
• Mapuche of Chile and Argentina
• Yanomami of Brazil and Venezuela
• Adivasi (Scheduled Tribes) of India
• Papuan Indigenous People of Indonesia
• Chittagong Hill Tracts (CHT) Indigenous People of Bangladesh
• Standing Rock Sioux (Dakota Access Pipeline) - United States

*Wet’suwet’en First Nation - Canada

*Maasai of Tanzania,

• Ogiek of Kenya,
• Batwa of Uganda,
