Funders supporting Indigenous peoples and local communities' land rights have exceeded their initial pledge, Mongabay reported. Between 2021 and 2025, donors delivered $2.35 billion, according to the final report of the Forest Tenure Funders Group. This total represents 35 percent more than the original target. [1]
The original $1.7 billion pledge was first announced at the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference, Mongabay said. The funding aims to support Indigenous and local community land stewardship, although direct funding proportions remain low according to the report. [1]
