Rede Cerrado
It brings together around 60 organizations for the defense of the Cerrado and its peoples. Its main objective is the fight for the conservation of the biome and the defense of its peoples and traditional communities, in the promotion of social justice and environmental sustainability.
Campanha Nacional em Defesa do Cerrado
The Campaign tells Brazil and the world that the Cerrado exists, is beautiful, unique and socio-biodiverse. Through the articulation of more than 50 movements, organizations and social pastorals with a long history of struggles with their feet on the ground in the Cerrado, the initiative works to protect the Biome and guarantee the rights of its peoples.
Tamo de Olho
It aims to identify emblematic cases of deforestation and violations of territorial rights of Traditional Peoples and Communities for advocacy with public bodies, focusing on accountability and guaranteeing rights. Its main focus is on the Cerrado biome, especially in the MATOPIBA region. WWF-Brasil, ISPN, Rede Cerrado, Instituto Cerrados and IPAM are participating in the initiative.
Tô no Mapa
It is an application developed for Brazilian peoples, traditional communities and family farmers to self-map their territories. An accessible and free tool, built from the dialogue between different communities and social organizations. This political instrument aims to strengthen the struggle for territorial rights not yet recognized. This is an initiative of the Institute for Environmental Research of the Amazon (IPAM) together with the Society, Population and Nature Institute (ISPN), with support from the Cerrado Network.
