Native Planet is a non-governmental organization (NGO) dedicated to the self-empowerment of indigenous peoples and the preservation of world ethnic cultures. Traditional groups are not only global role models for successful conservation and sustainable consumption of natural resources; they are also the guardians of our planet's remaining wilderness and biological diversity.-
Helping these groups speak for themselves to a global audience is crucial to their protection and Native Planet's documentation of indigenous lifestyles gives traditional people a voice the world can hear. The accounts and photographs of our experiences will introduce you to world cultures struggling to retain their ancient ways in the face of economic modernization and globalization.-

INDIGENOUS CULTURES MEET THE MENTAWAI CONGRATULATIONS, AYAN !
Looking for more information on a specific group or a particular country? Or just looking to learn? Our Indigenous Mapping Database will help you find out what you want to know. Native Planet’s unique cultural tourism initiative and the building and maintenance of crucial new communal houses help traditional Mentawai clans escape “model” villages and return to their ancient cultures and ancestral lands. - Native Planet’s own Ayan Humbert-Droz has been selected as a United Nations Online Volunteering Volunteer of the Year, one of only ten winners internationally chosen from entries submitted by non-profit organizations from around the world!
