Across Amazonia, Indigenous Peoples have made remarkable
strides in defending their rights, strengthening their
organizations, and amplifying their voices on local, national,
and global stages.
Our strategy of bolstering the capacity of local and regional organizations aided
in strengthening Indigenous Peoples’ guardianship in the region, including the
protection of more than 69 million hectares (266,410 sq. miles), home to approximately
115,000 Indigenous People across 73 territories in six countries who are caring for the
region’s unique biodiversity.
