METAdrasi welcomes Amazon Frontlines to the community of organizations that have been honored with the Humanitarian Prize of the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation.
Since its founding in 2011, Amazon Frontlines has focused on permanently protecting the rainforest homelands of dozens of Indigenous nations from further mining, drilling, and deforestation and strives for a different future—where the global community deeply understands the land, the forest, and the ecosystem, and how interconnected all of us are across the globe. Amazon Frontlines has partnered with Indigenous peoples and has won some of the most significant climate victories in recent times for the protection of hundreds of thousands of acres of rainforest, and the establishment of the Indigenous rights in the Amazon. More timely than ever, the Prize awarded to Amazon Frontlines serves as a powerful reminder of our collective duty to protect our forests from disaster and devastation.
Congratulations to Amazon Frontlines from METAdrasi!
