Indigenous Youth Voice on Biodiversity: Ms. Kim Enkoryaw, Philippines

“Land is Life: Indigenous Youth Speak Out!”

As AIPP continues to amplify the voices of Indigenous Children and Youth, we now spotlight the powerful words of Indigenous Youth from the Cordillera mountains of the Philippines!

“Land is life—our lives are tied to our ancestral lands. This is where our livelihood thrives, our ancestors rest, and our culture is built.” — Ms. Kim “Enkoryaw” Falyao (Igorot, Balangao Tribe, Mt. Province, Cordillera).

Ms. Kim, the National Coordinator of Siklab Philippine Indigenous Youth Network, shares her insights on the major challenges of Indigenous Youth in the Philippines through her video message.
