Every day we see violence increasing, Indigenous Peoples being murdered and the destruction of our territories happening at an accelerated rate. These attacks are results of the weakening of Indigenous and environmental policies by the current government of Brazil.

All over the world, we are already seeing the impacts of the climate crisis. Further allowing deforestation puts biodiversity, the lives of Indigenous Peoples and traditional communities, and the global climate at risk. World leaders must be accountable and put people and the planet first always. We need our forest standing and its people protected from those who want to make short-term profits off of it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Natalia de Campos, co-coordinator at DDB-NY, said: \u201c<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is crucial that we raise the voices of Brazilian indigenous leaders on the attacks and devastation they experience and fight first-hand, and in the heart of Manhattan, the financial capital of the world. This year we Brazilians hope to change the course of continuous dismantling of social and environmental policies, with our national congress and presidential elections. Brazilian biomes are essential to keep all of us alive. Greed and mismanagement are killing all biomes, and many of their defenders. If we don\u2019t hear from the people who risk their lives to keep the world alive, we will cease our existence. We are here to stand with them, as they fight for their rights, which are our rights too.
