Prince William to help Indigenous defenders of Brazil's Amazon
- On Tuesday, Prince William will announce a new initiative at the United for Wildlife summit in Rio de Janeiro to support Indigenous communities of the Brazilian Amazon and environmental activists, framing it as urgent for climate action.
- In the past year, over 1.7 million hectares of the Amazon were cleared and thousands of environmental advocates have gone missing or lost their lives, with Indigenous communities disproportionately targeted.
- The programme is a collaboration between the Royal Foundation, the Co-ordination of Indigenous Organisations of the Brazilian Amazon, the Podaali Fund, Rainforest Foundation Norway and Re:wild, expanding legal aid and establishing an emergency response fund.
- The initiative builds on a five-year ranger insurance package announced last year, which aims to insure 10,000 rangers and already covers more than 6,000 across Africa.
- Across nine states of the Brazilian Amazon, the programme will prioritise legal support and emergency response for leaders at risk, while Prince William used the United for Wildlife platform to urge governments to `step up and play their role`.
