The Munduruku people in the Amazon

this summer, I will be going with my family to the Amazon river, where we will spend time with the Mondu people. Their lands are being destroyed by oil and mining interests. We are raising money to help them preserve their land and land of life.

More information about Amazon Watch: Since 1996, Amazon Watch has partnered with indigenous peoples and environmental organizations in campaigns for human rights, corporate accountability, and preservation of the Amazon's ecological systems. Our theory of change centers on advancing indigenous peoples' rights to manage their ancestral territories as the most effective way to protect the Amazon, as studies confirm that, here, community-based protected areas are more effective in conserving biodiversity that 'western' conservation strategies.
