As we commemorate Indigenous Peoples' Day – which this year falls on Monday, October 14th – we would like to recognize the vital role of Indigenous communities in preserving the Amazon rainforest, especially in the face of unprecedented climate challenges.

It’s a symbiotic relationship, as the rainforest affects most aspects of their daily life, livelihood, and culture.
