Our Indigenous Peoples Strategy prioritizes the Xingu and Jurua river basins in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest, engaging with Indigenous Lands of the Ashaninka, Noke Koi, Yawanawa, Kayapo, Panara, and Xingu Indigenous communities. Our projects address a range of issues from climate resilience to gender equity. Some of our current flagship projects include: Our Future Forests (2021-2024, funded by the French Government): Strengthening Yawanawa and Ashaninka Indigenous organizations, improving protected area management through territorial monitoring (such as the pilot prototype here proposed), supporting young Indigenous leaders, and promoting sustainable production chains. L'Oreal Fund For Women (2022-2024): Empowering Kayapo women through the establishment of 39 sewing houses, which have directly and indirectly benefitted around 1,800 women through employment and sustainable alternative livelihood opportunities. This project fosters economic autonomy and strengthens women's roles within their communities. Xingu+ (2023-2028, funded by HP): Enhancing territorial protection, environmental monitoring, and sustainable management of the Panara Indigenous Land and the Xingu River Protected Areas Corridor, covering approximately 150,000 hectares. This project also strengthens the Xingu+ network, an alliance of 32 organizations working to defend the 25,000 IP&LC members and 26 million preserved hectares of the Xingu Socio-Environmental Diversity Corridor.
