The Livelihood Sovereignty Alliance (LISO) based in Vietnam has a long-standing reputation for of supporting inaugurating and developing subsistence livelihood sovereignty, particularly for indigenous ethnic minorities in the Mekong region.

By documenting the facts and livelihood conditions, and supporting and promoting the land rights and forest rights for indigenous ethnic communities, a very fundamental contribution is made to safeguard the natural environment with its unique biodiversity and ecological functions. Not only a local effect but even a regional and global effect can therefore be reached by adopting appropriate reforestation and subsistence improvement technologies like Rainforestation-Farming® and indigenous land use methods in harmony with nature.

The Livelihood Sovereignty Alliance (LISO) is to be congratulated for their efforts to document the facts and challenges of indigenous ethnic communities in their struggle for reaching self-determined livelihood sovereignty. These genuine efforts, and especially the contribution to global climate protection, are supported by Nature Life-International in cooperation with the High-Performance Computing Center Stuttgart (HLRS).
