The Kayapo people, indigenous to the Amazon rainforest in Brazil, have just been given the opportunity to save their way of life. The first trust fund to focus on long term conservation financing by indigenous Amazon peoples has just been granted to them.
Conservation International just announced $8m in grants which will go to “terrestrial monitoring” – protecting the Kayapo land and providing economic opportunities for the Kayapo people, who number approximately 7,000 spread throughout five territories. These territories together make up the largest block of land protected by one indigenous people, but are circled by encroaching deforestation.
