Abstract: This volume examines the vital link between livelihood rights and the empowerment of Indigenous communities in the MMR region. It emphasizes the role of traditional knowledge, cultural practices, and natural resource access in sustaining primary livelihoods. Through analysis of legal frameworks, socio-economic challenges, and community-driven initiatives, the study highlights the necessity of protecting and promoting these rights to strengthen self-reliance, resilience, and sustainable development. Safeguarding livelihood rights not only preserves cultural heritage but also enhances economic stability, social equity, and environmental stewardship, underscoring their central role in the sustainable future of Indigenous populations.
