Indigenous leadership for a thriving Amazon
Equipping Yanomami communities with resources, technology, and training to safeguard their homeland and culture.
Research & Advocacy
We collaborate with academic institutions and Yanomami communities to investigate the impact of dietary and lifestyle changes on their health, with a specific focus on their microbiomes. This research involves multiple disciplines and aims to enhance Indigenous and global health while preserving Indigenous knowledge. By incorporating Yanomami perspectives into bioethical standards, research design, and implementation, we protect their rights, promote fair benefit-sharing, and ensure that they take a leading role in shaping research outcomes.
Infrastructure & Communication
With increasing demands for energy, mobility, and infrastructure within Yanomami territory, we are working towards implementing solar energy systems and satellite communication at critical monitoring sites, such as Yanomami schools and medical clinics. We support the Yanomami as they strive to reduce reliance on fossil fuels, enhance communication networks, strengthen disease surveillance and medical response, and significantly improve vigilance against external threats, ensuring the safety and security of the Yanomami territory.
Intercultural Exchange
We support intercultural training projects co-designed with Yanomami communities to foster mutual understanding, cultural resilience, and shared learning. These initiatives promote the exchange of knowledge between Indigenous and scientific worlds, strengthen local capacity, and affirm the Yanomami’s leadership in shaping the future of research and development in their territory. Through respectful collaboration, we strive for a more just and inclusive future, one rooted in self-determination and reciprocity.
