Amazonian Indigenous Peoples

Amazonian Indigenous Peoples are the native communities residing in the Amazon rainforest, a vast and biodiverse region spanning several South American countries. They have unique cultures, languages, and traditions closely tied to the forest and its resources. Historically, these groups have lived sustainably, relying on hunting, fishing, and agriculture. However, they face significant challenges from deforestation, mining, and land encroachment, which threaten their way of life and the environment. Many Indigenous communities are actively working to protect their rights and advocate for the preservation of their land and culture in the face of modern development pressures.
