The COVID-19 pandemic reminds us to stop unsustainable exploitation of nature that caused our contact with the COVID-19 virus.  Indigenous peoples have long warned about it.

It is now realized that local & indigenous community knowledge & partnerships are essential to address the COVID-19 outbreak, mitigate the climate change (which will be much more harmful than COVID-19, as scientists predicted), and build a more sustainable, resilient world. [Ref]

Thus, we highly value the knowledge & partnerships of local & indigenous communities in our Public Private Partnership (PPP) Programs for sustainable livelihoods & economic development through conserving environment, forest, water & bio-diversity -- to build a more sustainable and resilient post-COVID-19 world.
