We are an organization dedicated to strengthening the autonomy of traditional peoples by valuing culture, ancestral knowledge, and sustainability.

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Our Story

Conexão Ancestral - Peoples of the Forest is a civil society organization founded in 2025 from the meeting of people committed to preserving culture, way of life, and promoting the autonomy of indigenous peoples and traditional communities.

Our story is born from direct interaction with indigenous communities in Acre, and the recognition that their ancestral knowledge, cultures, and territories are fundamental to protecting the forest and life on the planet.

We believe that indigenous peoples are the protagonists of their own stories and guardians of ancient knowledge about caring for nature. Therefore, we act as a support arm, developing projects in dialogue with communities, respecting their autonomy, traditions, and ways of life.

Conexão Ancestral works to strengthen indigenous self-determination, support cultural preservation, promote food security, improve living conditions in villages, and contribute to the defense of traditional territories.

Concrete Projects
Start of specific actions in dialogue with leaders, focused on areas such as drinking water, food security, river mobility, and cultural protection, in line with local priorities.
NGO Foundation
