Description

Environmental activist and member of Chad’s pastoralist Mbororo community, Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim began advocating for Indigenous rights and environmental protection at age 16, founding the Association for Indigenous Women and Peoples of Chad (AFPAT) to introduce new income revenue activities for women and collaborative tools such as 2D and 3D participatory mapping to build sustainable ecosystems management and reduction of nature-based resource conflicts. She is a member of the Indigenous Peoples of Africa Coordinating Committee (IPACC) and served as co-chair of the International Indigenous Peoples Forum on Climate Change during the historic UN Climate Change Conference (COP21) in Paris. She advances environmental protection for Indigenous peoples by participating in international policy dialogues held around the three Rio Conventions, Climate Change (UNFCCC), Biodiversity (CBD), and Desertification (UNCCD) pressuring governments to recognize land rights of Indigenous peoples and advance their solutions for climate adaptation and mitigation. Ibrahim’s work with indigenous communities at the local and global level has achieved broad recognition and support including, The Diane Von Furstenberg DVF, the Rolex enterprise award 2021, the Pritzker Emerging Environmental Genius Award, the 2020 Refugee International’s Refugees International Holbrooke Award; the Daniel Mitterrand Prize and appointed as a UN SDG Advocate and a National Geographic Explorer. She was recognized by BBC as a top 100 women leader and by TIME's Women Leaders in Climate Change.
