About Amazoniar

📸 Bruno Kelly

In Portuguese, the verb “Amazoniar” (“Amazonize” or “to Amazon”) symbolizes the act of getting involved, learning, and actively participating in promoting and protecting culture, biodiversity, and environmental issues in the Amazon region. Launched in 2019, Amazoniar is an initiative by the Amazon Environmental Research Institute (IPAM) to promote a global dialogue about the biome.

We aim to be a channel of knowledge and a stage for the global community interested in delving into different characteristics of the region. Through a cultural, informative, and artistic approach, we aim to inform, provoke, inspire, and raise awareness. This concept guides us on several fronts of activities and practices, such as:

  1. Integration and Dialogue: we promote inclusive interaction and open dialogue between different communities and disciplines, aiming to increase understanding and strengthen cooperation around Amazon-related themes;
  2. Environmental Awareness: we work to raise awareness about the importance of the Amazon for the global climate and socio-environmental issues, highlighting issues such as deforestation, biodiversity, climate change, and human rights;;
  3. Culture and Preservation: we are engaged in the preservation, appreciation, and recognition of Amazonian cultures, respecting traditions, values, and rights of indigenous peoples, quilombolas (members of Afro-Brazilian communities originally formed by escaped slaves and their descendants), riverside communities, extractivist, family farmers, among many others;;
  4. Immersion and Study: we promote immersive information and studies of the Amazon rainforest, highlighting its complexity and unique knowledge.

Amazoniar is a movement towards a future where the Amazon is understood, respected, and preserved. We invite you to join us on this journey of knowledge, dialogue, and action for this rich biome and the people who live in it. Together, we can be actors of great change.
