“We now have information about our friends who live closer to roads and whose land has been converted into oil palm plantations. We saw them having problems. They do not earn enough, they cannot get a job and they said the oil palm cannot pay for their daily life”
Rubber Farmer, Indonesia

LifeMosaic supports indigenous peoples in the humid tropics to get their voices heard, and to access the information that they need to make informed decisions about their futures.

Indigenous peoples are the stewards of much of the world’s biological, cultural and linguistic diversity. Yet large-scale developments such as logging, dams, mines, fossil fuel extraction, and plantations often deny indigenous communities their lands, livelihoods and basic rights and destroy the ecosystems on which they depend. In many places indigenous peoples are marginalised and there is little accountability for governments and corporate interests that perpetrate abuses against them. They have little or no power or political voice and information about the impacts of these developments is often unavailable.
