We acknowledge Indigenous Peoples’ ongoing fight for equal rights, as well as their many achievements and contributions to the world, including protecting our environment.
Image Description:
The image is a promotional graphic for the International Day of the World’s Indigenous Peoples, observed on August 9, 2024. It features a blue background with palm leaf patterns.
At the top, the date “AUGUST 9, 2024” is highlighted, followed by the title “INTERNATIONAL DAY OF THE WORLD’S INDIGENOUS PEOPLES” in bold. The graphic explains that this day raises awareness about the world’s Indigenous Peoples and aims to protect their rights.
A fact is presented: “Did you know that Indigenous Peoples make up about 6% of the world’s population, but they protect 80% of the Earth’s biodiversity?”
Below this, there are two pie charts:
The left pie chart illustrates that 6% of the world’s population are Indigenous Peoples, with a small light blue segment representing the 6% and the rest in grey.
The right pie chart shows that Indigenous Peoples protect 80% of the world’s biodiversity, with a large light blue segment representing the 80% and a smaller grey segment for the remainder.
At the bottom of the image, there is a citation link: “Citation: https://www.worldbank.org/en/topic/indigenouspeoples” and the logo and name “Silent Voice” are displayed.]
