Empowering indigenous communities to protect our forests and its biodiversity through powerful stories
Our Letter To The Earth
We are a global movement with the aim to assist indigenous communities in their battle against deforestation through documentaries and participatory films. We wrote a letter to the Earth and promised to stand with indigenous communities, the guardians of the forests.
The Docu Camps At Heart
We believe that video technology and geospatial data could be used as a tool for the advancement of indigenous rights and the preservation of nature. We train a new generation of indigenous people by providing the tools and skills to produce video content and develop geospatial maps to capture environmental change.
Stories have the power to drive social change and People's Planet Project exists to help those stories take flight.
Voices On The Ground
We Are The Kīsêdjê From Brazil
The Kīsêdjê are the only group of the Gê language family living in the Xingu Indigenous Park in the Brazilian Amazon rainforest. The Kīsêdjê community has repeatedly tried to prevent deforestation on their territories across the Wawi River. In spite of their efforts, the deforestation undertaken by outsiders has not ceased and poses a significant threat to the Kīsêdjê tribe.

We Are The A'i Cofan From Ecuador
The A'i Cofan number approximately 2,100 and control most of the Cofan Bermejo rainforest in Ecuador. The A'i Cofan are fighting back against small-scale gold-miners and new, large-scale concessions invading their forest land. Possessing centuries of slowly developed wisdom, they hold the keys to an incredible body of information concerning the preservation of nature and the everyday rhythms of the Amazonian rainforest.
