Summer 2024 Newsletter
We are excited to share some of our key achievements from the past few months. Justice has finally been served in the Saweto case with a historic court ruling in Peru. Twenty Indigenous communities in the Peruvian Amazon have secured legal titles to their lands, and we’ve made significant strides in enhancing carbon market integrity in Central America. Your support makes these victories possible. Read our full Summer newsletter to learn more.
April 2024 Newsletter
As Earth Day draws near, we’re excited to share with you our ambitious plans for the future. This year began with a breakthrough: the Peruvian government’s commitment to grant permanent land titles to 19 Ticuna and Yagua communities. With official rights to their ancestral lands, these communities can better. Additionally, our territorial monitoring program now safeguards over 17 million acres of vital rainforest. Dive into our April newsletter to explore these milestones and join us in making a difference.
