Formed from members of the Amondawa community from the Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau Indigenous Territory, the team operates in collaboration with FUNAI to patrol and monitor the territory, gathering evidence of illegal land grabs and illegal deforestation. Our in-house legal team uses this evidence to lobby law enforcement for action and advocate for the community in multiple legal processes.
We are proud to be working with the Amondawa in the defence of their beautiful homeland.
Uru-Eu-Wau-Wau Indigenous land is located in the state of Rondônia, Brazil and is situated at the western limit of the so-called ‘Arc of Deforestation’ (scroll for map from 2015) that describes the advancing front line of agricultural-led deforestation of the Amazon.
This is one of many key ‘frontlines’ in the struggle to preserve the rainforest.
