Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon

Indigenous Peoples of the Amazon are the native communities living in the Amazon rainforest, with diverse cultures, languages, and traditions. They have inhabited this region for thousands of years, relying on the forest for food, medicine, and livelihood. These communities possess deep ecological knowledge and play a vital role in preserving the rainforest's biodiversity. Despite facing threats from deforestation, mining, and climate change, they continue efforts to protect their lands and cultures. Recognized internationally for their custodianship of the environment, their rights and land awareness are essential for sustainable conservation of the Amazon.
