About
Understanding the Amazon begins with the people who know it best
Discovering contemporary Indigenous expertise across the Amazon
FightForAmazonia.info is an independent discovery platform dedicated to the people shaping the future of the Amazon. It brings together Indigenous leaders, artists, educators, communicators, filmmakers, writers, organisations and knowledge holders from across the Amazon Basin, making their work easier to discover, understand and explore.
The Amazon is one of the world's most important living systems, yet conversations about its future are often shaped by voices from outside the region. Scientists, journalists and policymakers play an essential role, but the people who have lived in the Amazon for generations—and who continue to shape its future every day—remain comparatively difficult to discover in mainstream public discourse.
FightForAmazonia.info exists to help change that.
Rather than organising information around environmental crises alone, the platform is organised around people, ideas and relationships. It connects interviews, documentaries, books, podcasts, organisations, campaigns and other resources into a single place where visitors can explore the remarkable diversity of contemporary Indigenous leadership across the Amazon.
Who is it for?
FightForAmazonia.info is designed for journalists, educators, students, researchers, documentary makers and anyone who wants to better understand the contemporary Amazon through the perspectives of the people who know it best.
Whether you are looking for expert voices, reliable background information or inspiration for further learning, the platform offers an accessible gateway to Indigenous perspectives from across the region.
Why it matters
Protecting the Amazon requires more than scientific knowledge and political action alone. It also requires listening to—and learning from—the people whose knowledge, cultures and stewardship have sustained its forests for generations.
FightForAmazonia does not seek to speak for Indigenous peoples. Instead, it seeks to make their expertise more discoverable alongside other forms of knowledge, contributing to richer public conversations about the Amazon and its future.
Ultimately, FightForAmazonia is about more than the Amazon. It is about broadening who we recognise as experts, making Indigenous knowledge easier to discover and helping build a more inclusive understanding of one of the world's most important living systems.
