Strengthening the Protection of Tumucumaque Indigenous Lands and the Wayamu Territory

To strengthen the well-being of communities that live in the Wayamu Territorial Union and the Tumucumaque Indigenous Lands, a northern region of Brazil that spans 11.5 million-hectares of Indigenous Territory, the Bezos Earth Fund will partner with the Instituto de Pesquisa e Formação Indígena (Institute for Indigenous Research and Training). The grant will focus on supporting efforts to advance territorial protection, protection of isolated peoples, governance, and Indigenous training programs.
