Nia Tero works in areas where Indigenous peoples sustain large-scale ecosystems within their collective territories. We support existing and potential systems of governance that can secure successful guardianship of these territories. Our relationships with Indigenous peoples and local communities revolve around shared commitments for guardianship. These commitments are put in practice through agreements that lay out mutual obligations to secure the well-being of peoples and places and to provide durable, long-term financial and technical support. Each agreement follows an explicit process of planning guided by humility and a principle that all participants are equals.
