Fossil fuels and other conventional energy sources release many greenhouse gases that harm the environment. For this reason, there is global talk of the need for a transition towards the use of cleaner energy sources and the development of technologies such as battery storage systems, and other cleaner sources of energy. However, for the creation of these energy sources, so-called “transition minerals” are necessary, the extraction of which increases the danger of new displacements and the dispossession of territories from Indigenous Peoples.

Adamou Amadou, who is from the Mbororo community in Cameroon and is also the president of the Mbororo Social and Cultural Development Association, believes that in climate negotiations, discussions have mainly focused on oceans, mountains, and forests. However, he points out that one important voice has been left out of the conversation: the pastoralists. They play a crucial role in safeguarding large areas of land and possess valuable traditional knowledge that can help with adapting to climate change.

Indigenous Peoples play a crucial role in the conservation of the environment and ecosystems, as their survival very much depends on water, land, and natural resources. Indigenous Peoples are often called the custodians or stewards of the Earth. It is estimated that 25 percent of the earth's land surface is occupied, owned, and managed by Indigenous Peoples. This is no coincidence as Indigenous cultures are rooted in relationships with lands and territories.
