People - IAI

The relationship that most indigenous peoples s relationship with the land and territories they occupy is profound and complex. It goes far beyond a simple notion of ownership or exploitation of resources. For these peoples, the land is sacred, a source of life, identity and spirituality.

Our services to tribal and indigenous peoples

Cultural demarcation is the process of identifying, demarcating and marking cultural sites of importance to indigenous and tribal peoples.

Land protection

Indigenous peoples around the world can benefit from land demarcation.

The demarcation of land is particularly important for indigenous peoples who :

Have customary land rights
Have been marginalised or excluded from the development process
Facing threats to their land

Protection of rights

Indigenous and tribal peoples, who are often marginalised and excluded, have the right to live in dignity and to fully enjoy their fundamental rights.

Establishing a link between self-identification and land demarcation is an important step in strengthening the land rights of indigenous peoples. By recognising the boundaries of ancestral lands defined by the communities themselves, the application can help to protect their lands and resources from encroachment and injustice.
