In Araribóia Indigenous Land in Maranhão state, Brazil:

AmazoniAlerta Environmental Agents in Araribóia Indigenous Land
Our team of AmazoniAlerta Environmental Agents is formed from members of the local Guajajara community. In rotation, team members undertake patrol and expeditions in key areas within their territory that are suspected of already being subject to illegal invasion and deforestation or thought to be especially vulnerable. Additionally the team has chosen to undertake patrols in areas close to uncontacted Awá People in a contribution to the defense of their territory and isolated status.
