In Brazil's Araribóia Indigenous Land, Guajajara women have initiated nurseries for reforestation, vital for reversing deforestation. Health In Harmony (HIH) supports these efforts and collaborates with the Woodwell Climate Research Center to create a Landscape Capital Index (LCI) for monitoring climate and biodiversity impacts.
Indigenous Peoples traditionally manage forests but receive minimal climate funding. HIH emphasizes Indigenous-led initiatives as effective in combating climate change. Additionally, ECCON Soluções Ambientais aids in developing carbon credits aligned with Indigenous safeguards.
The Guajajara nurseries will not only produce seedlings for reforestation but also provide food and medicine, enhancing ecosystem health. However, the challenge remains in securing adequate funding for these community-led projects.
