了解原住民行使传统权利的土地的规模、位置和自然保护价值对于实施多项全球保护和气候协议至关重要。然而，土著土地的空间信息从未在全球范围内汇总。在这里，我们利用公开的地理空间资源表明，土著人民在 87 个国家或所有有人居住的大陆上政治上不同的地区管理或拥有至少类似 3800 万平方公里(2) 的土地使用权。它占世界陆地表面的四分之一以上，并涵盖约 40% 的陆地保护区和生态完整的景观（例如，北方和热带原始森林、稀树草原和沼泽）。我们的研究结果进一步证明，承认土著人民的土地权、惠益分享权和机构权对于实现当地和全球保护目标至关重要。这里提出的地理空间分析表明，涉及保护从业者、土著人民和政府的合作伙伴关系将为子孙后代保护具有生态价值的景观、生态系统和基因带来巨大效益。
Understanding the scale, location and nature conservation values of the lands over which Indigenous Peoples exercise traditional rights is central to implementation of several global conservation and climate agreements. 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 similar to 38 million km(2) in 87 countries or politically distinct areas on all inhabited continents. This represents over a quarter of the world's 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' 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.
