amazon climate communication toolkit to decolonize language
Through extensive research we have identified blind biases in language that use colonized views to shape how the Amazon and Indigenous territorial Rights are Represented in media and policy.
In partnership with Futuro Amazonia, we have created a Free guide to re-write the narrative.
Futuro Amazônia is an Indigenous-led initiative centering territorial rights, ecological governance, climate innovation, and decolonial communication. Their work uplifts the authority of Indigenous Peoples as the rightful decision-makers of the Amazon — not as stakeholders, but as sovereign nations whose governance systems have protected biodiversity for thousands of years.
