However, spatial information on Indigenous lands has never been aggregated globally. Here, using publicly available geospatial resources, we show that Indigenous Peoples manage or have tenure rights over at least ~38 million km<sup>2<\/sup>\u00a0in 87 countries or politically distinct areas on all inhabited continents. This represents over a quarter of the world\u2019s land surface, and intersects about 40% of all terrestrial protected areas and ecologically intact landscapes (for example, boreal and tropical primary forests, savannas and marshes). Our results add to growing evidence that recognizing Indigenous Peoples\u2019 rights to land, benefit sharing and institutions is essential to meeting local and global conservation goals. The geospatial analysis presented here indicates that collaborative partnerships involving conservation practitioners, Indigenous Peoples and governments would yield significant benefits for conservation of ecologically valuable landscapes, ecosystems and genes for future generations.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.raisg.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Global-importance-of-Indigenous-lands.pdf\"><strong>VIEW FULL-TEXT (PDF)<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s41893-018-0100-6\">https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1038\/s41893-018-0100-6<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Stephen T.
