COP26 - Linklaters and the Cultural Sanctuaries Foundation

Whilst at COP26 in Glasgow, Matt Sparkes, Global Head of Sustainability at Linklaters, interviewed Linklaters alumnus Olivia McKendrick and National Geographic photographer Chris Rainier, co-founders of the Cultural Sanctuaries Foundation.

The Foundation's mission is to protect indigenous cultures, which are crucial in the global fight against climate change and wilderness destruction.

80% of the world’s remaining wilderness is cared for by indigenous peoples and it is these communities that are best placed to serve as guardians of those landscapes.
