Empower Indigenous Brazilians to Save their Amazon
Organization information
Asociacion Interamericana Para La Defensa Del Ambiente (AIDA)
Location: Lima, Brazil
Summary
For indigenous and local communities along Brazil's Xingu River, life is changing forever. Construction of the Belo Monte Dam - the third-largest in the world - has displaced them from their homes and ruined their traditional fishing grounds on this major tributary of the Amazon. AIDA is helping by providing free legal support and representation before international authorities. We're defending their rights to adequate housing, water, sanitation, livelihood, culture, and a healthy environment.
