AmazoniAlerta is pleased to announce that we have received a grant from the Rainforest Fund (UK) to fund our work in 2023 with traditional peoples and communities in the Brazilian Amazon to advance the legal defense of their lands and rights and help protect the Amazon Rainforest. Our thanks to @rainforest_fund
Founded in 1989 The Rainforest Fund funds programs and projects aimed at supporting Indigenous Peoples and traditional populations of the rainforests to assert their rights, to promote a sustainable development of their communities and to challenge governmental practices that have a damaging effect on their environment. Over more than 30 years of work, Rainforest Fund has partnered with Indigenous communities on approximately 300 multi-year projects in over 20 countries, with a particular focus on human rights of Indigenous Peoples and their battles against the illegal loggers, settlers, mining, and oil interests.
