Today is International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples (
@un4indigenous). We are proud to acknowledge Indigenous communities across the globe who often lead on environmental issues and conservation efforts. Indigenous peoples are also among those most affected by climate change, pollution, over-development, and notably, this current pandemic.

It’s important that we honor, listen to, and learn from Indigenous voices. We recently caught up with our ambassador,
@cliff_kapono, on the subject of Indigenous knowledge and its importance in creating a healthier planet. Listen, subscribe and download the episode here (also linked in bio):
