We are the best #GuardiansOfTheForest

The Global Alliance of Territorial Communities is a coalition of Indigenous and local communities of the Amazon Basin, Brazil, Indonesia and Mesoamerica. Together we represent forest peoples in 18 countries, and protect more than 840 million hectares of tropical forests.   Four territorial organizations make up our alliance: The Coordinator of Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA), the Articulation of the Indigenous Peoples of Brazil (APIB), the Mesoamerican Alliance of Peoples and Forests (AMPB) and the Alliance of Indigenous Peoples of the Archipelago (AMAN)
