House·20th Congress·Filed Jul 8, 2025

An Act Recognizing the Community Conserved Territories and Areas of Indigenous Peoples and Cultural Communities, Establishing for the Purpose the National Indigenous Community Conserved Areas Registry, and Appropriating Funds Therefor

In plain language

The proposal creates a national registry for community‑managed lands (ICCAs) that Indigenous peoples have protected using their own knowledge and customs, and gives them exclusive rights to govern and conserve those areas. It also sets up a steering committee, provides technical and financial support, and makes registered ICCAs a priority for biodiversity projects and reforestation. Violations can be penalized with imprisonment, fines, and restitution.
