We proudly announce the launch of our first team of AmazoniAlerta Environmental Agents operating within the Brazilian Amazon.
The team, formed from members of Indigenous and traditional communities, patrols & monitors areas that are vulnerable to illegal invasion, exploitation and deforestation.
Expeditions aim to: 1. Deter invaders. 2. Initiate legal action against illegal deforestation and violations of Indigenous lands by identifying criminal activity, gathering evidence and lobbying law enforcement to take action.
The team is supported by AmazoniAlerta’s expert Indigenous rights lawyers.
Despite constant invasions Indigenous lands are the least degraded within the Amazon. AmazoniAlertra empowers traditional communities in the defense of their lands and the rainforest.
