🪶 Indigenous & local communities—guardians of the forest—stand on the frontlines. Their monitoring groups & ancestral land defense make them prime targets for violence, confinement & displacement. Their protection is key to the Amazon’s survival. #DefendEarthDefenders

Where the state is absent, crime governs. Armed groups impose curfews, collect taxes, recruit youth, & even issue ID cards. In some regions, illicit economies generate more local revenue than state agencies meant to stop them.
