Brazil

State of Roraima in northern Brazil

Why did we choose Roraima?

• It is the Brazilian State with largest proportion of indigenous population & lands in Brazil (46%)
• There is a critical need to protect and defend lands recently secured by indigenous groups
• We have long term partnerships with indigenous organizations working in the region
• There is a precedent-setting legal case in progress

Indigenous groups are implementing projects that could potentially serve as models for leadership training, organization-building, and environmental monitoring.

Current Projects:



Providing legal and advocacy support for indigenous communities in Raposa Serra do Sol, northern Brazil.
