RESILIENCE ACTION

Across the Amazon, forest communities face growing threats from environmental destruction, and economic instability undermining both biodiversity and the rights of local communities - challenges made worse by climate change, weak territorial protections and volatile primary product markets.

At Aktion Amazonas, we work hand in hand with Indigenous Peoples and frontline communities, to support those at the forefront of rainforest protection in building resilient forest communities.

We support the creation of community-based patrols to defend forests and document environmental crimes.

We strengthen wildfire preparedness through fire brigades, risk mapping, and awareness.

We promote sustainable livelihoods like wild fruit harvesting, agroforestry and fisheries to reduce dependence on extractive industries and build long-term resilience.

Together, these efforts strengthen territorial control, climate resilience, and local economies - enhancing both social and ecological resilience across forest landscapes.
