People’s Planet Project

A global movement with the aim to assist Indigenous communities in their battle against deforestation

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.

What happens when Indigenosu communities lead the use of technology in stewarding their lands?
They protect people and planet.

We believe that when technology is in the hands of Indigenous peoples, it becomes more than a tool - it becomes a catalyst for cultural survival, ecological protection, and self-determination.

At People’s Planet Project, we train the next generation of Indigenous leaders in filmmaking and geospatial mapping, equipping them to document their territories, their stories, and the threats they face.

Decree No. 12,600 has been revoked.

After 32 days of intense mobilization across the territories, on the rivers, and online, Indigenous peoples, riverine communities, and traditional communities secured the revocation of a measure that had included waterways in the National Privatization Program and opened the door to dredging on the Tapajós, Madeira, and Tocantins rivers.

This victory is not the result of a concession.
It is the result of organization, political pressure, and historic resistance.

Indigenous presence within institutions matters. Institutional dialogue is also part of this battle, but it was the collective strength of the peoples that made the revocation inevitable.

Our rivers are not logistics corridors.
They are living territories.
They are culture, food, and future.

We remain vigilant.
Because every achievement in the Amazon is built through Indigenous resistance.

Ecuador ya votó - dos veces - para proteger la naturaleza y frenar el extractivismo. Sin embargo, una nueva ley minera amenaza con ignorar ese mandato democrático. Ríos, bosques y territorios indígenas están en riesgo.

El mundo está mirando. Alza la voz. Etiqueta a quienes deciden. Comparte. La democracia se respeta.

Ecuadorians have voted - twice - to protect nature and reject extractive expansion. Yet a new mining law threatens to override that democratic mandate. Rivers, forests, and Indigenous territories are at stake.

The world is watching. Raise your voice. Tag decision-makers. Share this. Democracy must be respected.

We are crafting a story in Papua New Guinea where two forces unfold simultaneously. A civil war ignited by mining interests that divided clans to gain control over mineral wealth. The other moves more quietly but just as relentlessly: rising sea levels slowly reclaiming the coastline.

Together, they threaten the social fabric, the land, and the future of a community that has contributed the least to the global systems driving both extraction and climate breakdown.

Excerpts from The Birds Still Sing Here. A story about memory, reconciliation, and the urgent work of protecting land and knowledge for the next generation.

A suspensão da dragagem no Tapajós é um exemplo poderoso da resistência indígena - mas não é o fim da luta. Em todo o Brasil, rios e territórios indígenas continuam ameaçados por um modelo de desenvolvimento baseado na exploração e na privatização. Sem mudanças estruturais, não haverá justiça social e ambiental. O Tapajós é uma suspensão - não é um cancelamento.

The suspension of dredging in the Tapaiós is a
powerful example of Indigenous resistance - but it is
hot the end of the struggle. Across Brazil, rivers and
Indigenous territories remain under threat from a
development model rooted in extraction and
privatization. Without systemic change, there can be
no true social or environmental justice. The Tapajós is a suspension - is not cancellation.

The language of the Indigenous diaspora has long been severed by systems of colonial oppression, distancing communities from their ancestral lineages.

Yet storytelling endures as a powerful thread - preserving memory, land-based knowledge, and connection to ancestors. If stories carry lineage, how does a displaced people sustain culture when those stories themselves must travel?

In this reflection, Amina Agnaoui shares her personal journey as an Amazigh descendant living in France, and how storytelling has guided her back to her roots. Through reclaiming narrative, she has rediscovered a deep connection to her heritage and a renewed passion to practice and share her Amazigh culture in .agn

We continue to amplify Indigenous stories and films that help shape the way we see the world.

Storytelling has long been a living tradition for Indigenous peoples across the globe. Today, filmmaking has become a powerful tool to amplify Indigenous Peoples’ guardianship and carry forward Indigenous stories, struggles, and visions, often misunderstood or misrepresented.

This time, we are sharing films that are shifting the narrative toward a future where Indigenous leadership, guardianship, and knowledge guide us toward a more conscious and rightful future for both people and planet.

For too long, Indigenous stories have been told by everyone except Indigenous peoples themselves.

Today, Indigenous leaders around the world are reclaiming communication as a tool of self-representation, resistance, and political transformation.

In Brazil, this movement is being led by Indigenous women who are stepping into spaces long denied to them - from grassroots organizing to national and public institutions - placing themselves at the forefront of decision-making.

Their leadership is not symbolic. It is strategic, collective, and deeply rooted in the defense of territory. By protecting Indigenous land rights, they help keep the forest standing and safeguard the biodiversity that sustains us all.

In 2023, we had the opportunity to speak with during the National Articulation of Indigenous Women Warriors of Ancestry (ANMIGA). She shared how this powerful network of Indigenous women is working to decolonize institutions, narratives, and ways of thinking - centering nature, community, and ancestral knowledge in political spaces that have historically erased them.

This is not only about representation. It is about reshaping power and imagining futures led by those who have protected life for generations.

The Tapajós River is under threat.

After 10 days of occupation and mobilization, Indigenous communities from the Tapajós are making history standing for environmental justice, the defense of life, Indigenous rights, and the rights of Nature.

The peoples who have protected this territory for generations are now resisting extractive projects and agribusiness giants like Cargill benefiting from the Arco Norte Project. Their struggle needs visibility, solidarity, and support.

Defending the Tapajós is defending the future.

When fire is used as a tool of erasure, truth becomes resistance.

Patagonia is burning and once again, Mapuche communities are blamed instead of protected.

Listening, remembering, and recognizing patterns is the first step toward justice.

Repparfjord, ancestral Sámi land, is under threat.

The Nussir mining project, now owned by Canada-based Blue Moon Metals, plans to dump up to 30 million tones of waste into this living fjord-endangering marine life, salmon, and Sámi livelihoods.

End mining in Repparfjord.

The Gulf of California is a marine sanctuary - and a frontline.

The Saguaro Energy Project threatens one of the most biodiverse seas on Earth, Indigenous territories, and the survival of whales.

What's at stake is not just an ecosystem, but a decision about whose future global trade is allowed to erase.

• Educate yourself and others about the project and its impacts
• Boycott corporations and institutions backing fossil fuel expansion
• Amplify Indigenous and frontline voices
• Resist through public pressure, legal action, and community organizing
• If you are in Mexico, sign petitions, support legal challenges, and demand accountability from authorities
