In Brazil, we are in the process of conducting  Free, Prior  and Informed Consent (FPIC) processes with Indigenous peoples living in the Brazilian Amazon.  For Wildlife Works, FPIC is  the foundation of a long-term partnership between the community and the REDD+ project developer. FPIC is  a process of capacity  building, listening, and co-creation. Learn more about this process in this blog.

Through the Free, Prior, and Informed Consent  (FPIC) process, diverse parts of the community members came together, from leaders, to women, youth, and elders,  to discuss and decide on the REDD+ Project in Gerbang  Barito.

As part of the Free, Prior and Informed Consent process to increase community member understanding of REDD+, we created educational games

Free, Prior, and Informed Consent (FPIC) enables Indigenous Peoples and local communities to approve or reject climate change projects that affect their lands, resources, or livelihoods. FPIC is not a one-time event—it’s a continuous, participatory process that builds trust, fosters collaboration, and ensures community rights. True community-driven climate action starts with respecting FPIC as a dynamic, adaptive engagement throughout a project’s lifecycle.
