Don’t miss this episode as we are speaking with Natalie Knowles, a Canadian conservationist and explorer focused on social, economic, and environmental sustainability in adventure travel and outdoor recreation.
Natalie was awarded the 2020 Adventure Travel Conservation Fund and Explorer's Club Rolex grants for her work with the Kayapo developing conservation-based and indigenous-led adventure tourism in Brazil's Xingu River basin.

Indigenous peoples have a wealth of knowledge to share on the proper management of ecosystems and for the benefit of all. Traditional agricultural methods handed down over centuries of indigenous populations have proven to be more sustainable than industrial solutions.

The Amazon rainforest has guardians who are fighting to protect it

On September 21st, there was a historic victory for indigenous people in Brazil, when the supreme court voted against a proposal for a time frame argument to limit indigenous land claims. Thereby, the court blocked agribusiness supported efforts to prevent indigenous communities claiming land they did not physically occupy in 1988. 

For this new episode of 'Brazil, Reimagined?' I talked to the people involved in the protests against the time frame argument; to the people who have been fighting for their lands for years; and to the people who are working every day to reconstruct what was destroyed or erased. Forests, cultures, and knowledge. 

I went further than I imagined I would go, deep into the forests of Acre, about 10 hours travelling by boat from Mancio Lima, the last town that can be reached over land. 

There, I met the leaders of the Nawa, one of the last people in Acre whose claim for land is not yet recognised by the federal government. And I talked to the leader of the Nukini, who is working to recover ancestral knowledge and cultures to reunite his people, and work together to protect their land.

The FAO of the UN leads international efforts to defeat hunger. Serving both developed and developing countries, FAO acts as a neutral forum where all nations meet as equals to negotiate agreements and debate policy. FAO is also a source of knowledge and information. We help developing countries and countries in transition modernize and improve agriculture, forestry and fisheries practices and ensure good nutrition for all. Since our founding in 1945, we have focused special attention on developing rural areas, home to 70 percent of the world's poor and hungry people. FAO's activities comprise four main areas:

1. Putting information within reach.
2. Sharing policy expertise.
3. Providing a meeting place for nations.
4. Bringing knowledge to the field.
