Saving the Amazon begins with the root of the problem.
Help us elevate the lives of the indigenous people who are fighting for survival to protect their sacred land.
See what’s happening to the Amazon.
The Amazon will soon reach the point of no return, where deforestation could become irreversible. The indigenous are believed to be the last and best hope to end the destruction, but the divide between culture and capability is monumental. We believe the indigenous can thrive with the support of green, non-invasive technology that can improve their overall quality of life and aid them in being the protectors of the forest.

A Globally Illuminating Idea
Hear our proposal to unite organizations with a singular goal to protect the Amazon forest by preserving the indigenous people.
The Amazon is one of the largest carbon sinks in the world.
If deforestation in the Amazon basin does not come to a halt within the next 10 years, it could affect the entire world. As the carbon sink of the Amazon decreases, global temperatures rise and so do the adverse effects to the planet, disrupting ecosystems, economies and governments worldwide … and not for the better.
