As part of their If Not Us Then Who? video series, Handcrafted Films produced an intriguing short video touching on the deep bonds between forests and certain Indigenous Peoples. This beautiful film, specially arranged for the IUCN and the Forest and Farm Facility, highlights the importance of forests to those who live in an around them, and underscores their relationship to the productive value of forests. Locally controlled forests tend to be both protected and cherished. The power of these relationships extends well beyond the forests themselves.

Watch the Indigenous Forests video, and see for yourself.
