Dear Friends of Land Rights
Now,
Happy Earth Day! Today we celebrate
the leadership of Indigenous and local
communities fighting for environmental justice
everywhere. We also celebrate the continued
support of all of our subscribers and allies who
drive the fight for land rights
forward.
Here at Land Rights Now,
we are celebrating Earth Day with a trip to the
Brazilian
Amazon and surrounding
biomes. By listening to the stories
below, you can learn about the Indigenous
environmental defenders who steward the
ecosystems upon which we all depend. Join us in

We look forward to

earth and its defenders in the months
ahead.
Yours for People and
Planet,

📙 A
Good Read: "Indigenous Forests Absorb Noxious
Fumes and Absorb Diseases From
Fires."
The
extreme wildfires in the Amazon threaten to
overwhelm the forest's role as a critical carbon
sink. However, a recent study published in
Nature has demonstrated the potential of
Indigenous stewardship as an antidote to the
noxious fumes produced by fires and extractive
industry. Read more from Mongabay to learn about
the critical importance of Indigenous knowledge
and leadership to combating climate change in
the Amazon. | |
📢 A Hopeful
Campaign:
#DemarcaYvirupa
The Comissão Guarani Yvyrupa
(CGY) and twelve Indigenous
Guarini communities in the Brazilian Mata
Atlântica coastal forest have launched a
campaign to ask President Lula for title to
their ancestral lands. Their fight is emblematic
of efforts by Indigenous communities around the
world fighting for their #landrights as
defenders of the life and territory. Watch their
brilliant campaign video here,
and practice your Portuguese!

A Powerful Film: "The
Territory"
Indigenous
communities are global leaders in the defense of
the territory. The Oscar-nominated documentary
"The Territory", produced by National
Geographic, showcases the efforts of the
Uru-eu-wau-wau people to secure their land
rights and protect the Amazon rainforest against
extractive industries. You can watch the trailer
here to understand the inextricable relationship
between defending the planet and defending the
original people of the forest.
