A Brasília-based seed network pays indigenous, family-farmer and urban collectors to harvest native Cerrado grasses and wildflowers, turning them back into standing savanna.

After record wildfires torched a quarter of the Pantanal wetland, this Brazilian NGO is paying Indigenous communities to grow and plant native seedlings that heal burned springs and riverbanks.

Latin America's largest social movement, born from land occupations in the 1980s, has helped hundreds of thousands of landless rural families win legal title to farmland through Brazil's agrarian reform program.

Since 1986, this Brazilian collective has put cameras in the hands of Indigenous filmmakers so their own footage becomes evidence and armor in the fight to keep Amazonian territories standing.

A São Paulo-founded institute has spent three decades mapping, litigating for and monitoring the Indigenous territories that science increasingly finds are Brazil's best defense against deforestation.
