In 2018, Brazil led the world in rainforest destruction. Tainaky Tenetehar is a Guardian of the Amazon. In this video, he tells us why the world needs Indigenous people, why they are key to protecting forests, and shares the challenges they face today.

Tribal Voice is a project by Survival International, the global movement for tribal peoples. More than one hundred and fifty million people in over sixty countries live in tribal societies.

From the Amazon to the Kalahari, from the jungles of India to the Congo rainforest, Tribal Voice gives them a platform. They experience appalling racism and genocidal violence. Their lands and resources are stolen for profit. Their ways of life are being deliberately and systematically destroyed.

Here they speak out about what matters to them; watch, listen, and get involved: https://survivalinternational.org/tribalvoice
