Amazonian Peoples

Amazonian peoples are the diverse Indigenous communities living in the Amazon Rainforest, spanning countries like Brazil, Peru, Colombia, and others. They maintain rich cultural traditions, languages, and knowledge systems closely tied to their environment. These communities rely on the forest for sustenance, medicine, and spiritual practices, often practicing sustainable ways of living. Despite facing threats from deforestation, resource extraction, and modernization, Amazonian peoples work to protect their territories and cultural heritage, playing vital roles in biodiversity conservation and ecological balance of the rainforest.
