Amazonas er hjemsted for mere end 24 millioner mennesker alene i Brasilien, herunder hundredtusindvis af oprindelige folk, der tilhører 180 forskellige grupper. De er skovens vogtere. Det er dem, der heltemodigt – nogle gange med livet som indsats – kæmper mod de magtfulde landbrugs-, minedrifts- og tømmerindustrier.

Ofte ses de af regeringen og store virksomheder som hindringer for deres økonomiske interesser. Ifølge Global Witness, er Brasilien år efter år rangeret som det farligste land i verden for miljøforkæmpere. En stor del af dem, der bliver myrdet, tilhører oprindelige folk, der bor i område ramt af miljøforurening og skovhugst.

D. 24. april mødtes mere end fire tusind mennesker til den største mobilisering af oprindelige folk i verden for at udveksle viden, dele erfaringer og vigtigst af alt: kæmpe for deres rettigheder. Her er en billedrapportage fra Free Land Camp.
