100% of your donation will support the Iriri and Xingu guard posts in 2023. American and Canadian donations are tax deductible
Guard posts manned by Kayapo and located at strategic border locations vulnerable to invasion have proved highly effective in protecting Kayapo lands. There are seven guard posts operating in 2019 and we need to establish five more while improving the coordination of the expanded surveillance system. This will strengthen the capacity of the Kayapo to patrol and protect the 2,000 km of their border.
The Kayapo project has meant the survival of Kayapo lands, the rich biodiversity and carbon stores they contain, and the way of life of the Kayapo people. It must continue to succeed. Your donations will directly fund the setting up of two new guard posts. Costs include : fuel, boats and motors, 4×4 vehicles, infrastructure supplies, logistics administration, Kayapo guard salaries.
