We're creating a barrier to save the Amazon Rainforest

We’re joining the fight to save the Amazon Rainforest as Xingu Indigenous guardians battle deforestation, land grabs, and fires in Brazil. 🌱 Join us to rewild the planet: https://planetwild.com/join/m29 🌲 Switch to Ecosia: https://ecosia.co/planetwild The Amazon rainforest is one of Earth’s most important ecosystems. But in 2025, with deforestation hacking away at it, we’re dangerously close to losing it. In the heart of Brazil, the Xingu Indigenous Territory is holding the line. It’s surrounded by the so-called Arc of Destruction, where most of Brazil’s deforestation occurs. Here, the Indigenous communities are fighting back against illegal logging, land grabs, and fires. That’s why, in Mission 29, we joined them to stop Amazon rainforest deforestation. This is how we save the Amazon, by backing Indigenous guardians who’ve protected it for generations.
