Kayapo territories

The Kayapó territories are Indigenous lands in Brazil, primarily within the Amazon rainforest, inhabited and managed by the Kayapó people. These areas are vital for their cultural heritage, traditional way of life, and biodiversity conservation. Recognized by the Brazilian government, the territories are protected from deforestation and illegal activities, helping preserve ecosystems and indigenous sovereignty. The Kayapó actively maintain their land through traditional practices, blending ancestral knowledge with ongoing efforts to defend their environment against external threats. This balance supports both their community well-being and the global ecological health of the rainforest.
