Ms. Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim is from Mbororo pastoralist community of Chad. She is the coordinator of the Association for Indigenous Women and Peoples of Chad (AFPAT) a community based organization and the speaker selected to represent civil society at the 22 April signing ceremony of the historic climate agreement that was reached in Paris last December.
“Climate change is adding poverty to poverty every day, and is forcing men to leave home, looking for a better future…We fight for survival. Nature is our supermarket. To protect it, we combine our indigenous traditional knowledge and science knowledge.” said Ms. Ibrahim at the 22 April signing ceremony.
Ms. Ibrahim belongs to the Peule Mbororo people, a group of an estimated 250,000 nomads engaged in subsistence farming in the Sahel region. She co-developed a project in Chad on participation of indigenous herders in the national adaptation platforms and other national processes to ensure peace, livelihoods and biological conservation in the face of worsening climate instability. “We developed participatory 3D mapping projects to help the young people and women to manage the few resources left.” she said at the 22 April signing ceremony.
