The book examines the historical context of indigenous land dispossession, legal and political strategies for land trusts, and the ecological impacts of indigenous-led conservation. It progresses from introducing land trusts in indigenous contexts to analyzing specific initiatives and their broader implications for land policy and social justice.
Through case studies from various regions, Land Trust Movements showcases both the successes and challenges faced by these communities, presenting a nuanced view of the movement's potential for achieving environmental sustainability and social equity.
