The Forest Keepers

Community Conservation areas in Brazil’s Amazon were meant to be the cornerstone of forest protection and sustainable development. Instead, neglect and impunity are fueling deforestation, land grabbing, and violence in the very areas designed to protect them. Brazil can reverse this trend—by securing land rights, ending impunity for environmental crimes, and investing in a socio-bioeconomy rooted in the people who keep the forest standing.
