Meetings with the communities and Indigenous Peoples<br />
2016 data. Scope: IFO<br />
Congo, a new pact with the forest<br />
In Central Africa, Indigenous People have been regular forest inhabitants<br />
for thousands of years. To ensure their land and customary rights and<br />
traditional uses are duly recognized and respected, we have a well-defined<br />
set of safeguards.<br />
On the occasion of International Forest Day <strong>2017</strong>, ARTE television broadcast a<br />
film showing how IFO manages its forest towards environmental, social and<br />
economic sustainability, including respecting the rights and needs of indigenous<br />
forest communities (click here or scan the QR code to find out more). The film<br />
had German and French voiceover, with English and Spanish subtitles.<br />
Along with Mr. Mathieu Schwartzenberg, FSC Congo Basin Programme Director,<br />
ARTE interviewed several of our staff and filmed how we carry out participatory<br />
cartography together with the indigenous communities,<br />
to correctly identify and map parts of the forest that need to be protected<br />
in sacred areas or that will be kept by the communities for medicinal uses<br />
or as a food source (fruits, caterpillars, etc.).<br />
