 My name is Michael Taylor. I'm the director of the Secretary of the International Alliance Coalition. We're a coalition of 207 really diverse organizations, many of whom are here. We have farmers organizations, indigenous peoples organizations, women's organizations, government, intergovernmental organizations, and despite the diversity, one thing that's common to all of them, all of the members of ILC, is how can we more effectively secure the land rights of the women, the men, the communities who live on and use the land for their livelihoods. So, that's what this conference is about. That's what the World Forum on Access to Land is discussing and trying to come up with solutions to. I think over the discussions that we've had here the last three days, what's been very clear is the scale of the challenge that we face. We're up against big interests, big economic, big political interests that really need a shift, a shift in understanding the value of land and what it means to different people and it's really multifaceted in nature. We're witnessing an increasing number of violations of the human rights of people who live on the land and threats to land rights defenders. So, the situation is urgent. Two and a half billion people who live on the face of this earth live on the land.
