Reserva Indigena Fulkaxo, Pacatuba, Alagoas State
Guardians Brazil is a collaboration between Guardians UK, Associação Quilombola de Brejão dos Negros in Alagoas State, and two indigenous reserves, Reserva Ecologica Fulkaxo, which protects a highly vulnerable stretch of Atlantic Rainforest also in Alagoas state, and Organização dos Povos Indígenas do Rio Juruá (OPIRJ) located in the State of Acre, part of the Amazon bio-region, near the border between Brazil and Bolivia
Cacique Tydio Fulkaxo explains the importance of preserving the Atlantic Rainforest in Reserva Indigena Fulkaxo in order to protect Pacatuba River, a tributary of the Sao Francisco River in Alagoas State, Northeastern Brazil.

Guardians Brazil seeks to support indigenous-led nature reserves. We know that the best way to protect forest is to have people living in the forest who depend on the forest to maintain their way of life. There are around 305 different indigenous people in Brazil alone, and many of them are stewards of forested land.
Land rights and titling of indigenous ancestral rights does not always happen, so the process of creating nature reserves run by indigenous people is an alternative that the Kariri-Xoco Fulkaxo people have pioneered to sustain their forest way of life
