Leonardo DiCaprio Instagram – It was an honor for my organization @rewild to support and attend the Indigenous meeting in Brazil to celebrate Kayapo Indigenous leader Chief Raoni Metuktire and his incredible leadership in guarding the Amazon rainforest and protecting Indigenous rights. We join the more than 800 people who attended the event—including representatives from about 50 Indigenous groups—in calling for national leaders to follow the leadership of Indigenous peoples in safeguarding the Amazon and our planet’s other biodiverse ecosystems. “Only one word can define the meeting called by Chief Raoni in the Xingu last week: HISTORIC,” says Rodrigo Medeiros, Re:wild’s senior Brazil associate. “With the planet increasingly threatened by the climate and biodiversity crises, with less time left for effective action, we all need to join hands with Indigenous communities in calling for rapid action to protect the forests and their territories. This fight is everyone’s fight, for all life on Earth, and for our shared planet.” Read more from @guardian by visiting the link in bio. Photograph: Kamikia Kisedje
