"Indigenous peoples are essential for the preservation of the environment. They are the guardians of our land. I got to know ISA through Beto Ricardo, who is one of the founders and I have followed this very important work in defense of our greater good ever since."

Paloma bernardi
"I learned about the work of ISA when supporting a campaign that fights for the removal of illegal miners who bring a lot of pain to the Yanomami Land. It was an opportunity to understand that looking at the indigenous people is to protect not only the forest, but their ancestors, the true caretakers of this land. ISA has a fundamental role in this task."
