#Brazil’s Amazon Guardians have been busy protecting their land from illegal invaders – while the authorities encourage the land-grabbers.

It’s a dangerous job & many have been killed. Can you imagine putting your life on the line everyday to protect your home & family?

Their most recent activities include:

👉 Land monitoring in the Arariboia #forest. The Guardians found a large logging camp, stopped the loggers and burned their equipment.

2/

👉 During an expedition they found evidence that a rancher had encroached further into their territory, crossing its border. The Guardians re-opened the trail that marks the border of the #Indigenous territory, as a clear sign to the ranchers to keep out.

👉Guardians from different regions of Arariboia gathered for an Assembly, to assess progress made in 2022 & plans for 2023.

#UncontactedTribes also live in the area - the Guardians are fighting to protect the forest for them too.

Survival will continue to support the Guardians’ crucial work.
