Month: November 2025

Treesistance is proud to join forces with Horta da Terra and CITA (the Indigenous Council of the Tapajós and Arapiun) in a co-created initiative focused on  syntropic regenerative  agriculture.

In October, over 20 Indigenous representatives from the Lower Tapajós gathered for a multi-day immersion at the Horta da Terra agroforest in Pará. This was more than a technical training — it was a regenerative cultural exchange, rooted in reciprocity, ancestral knowledge, and the shared goal of building climate-resilient food systems.

This collaboration recognises that Indigenous communities have long practiced sustainable land stewardship — transforming their territories into productive environments without harming nature. By combining ancestral wisdom with applied science and appropriate technologies, we believe it’s possible to scale ecosystemic food systems that serve both people and the planet.

As climate change accelerates and droughts deepen, these exchanges offer real alternatives, both to survive and regenerate.

Treesistance at COP30: Centering Indigenous Leadership from Pará

As COP30 convenes in Belém, Pará — a historic milestone marking the first climate summit held within the Amazon. Treesistance stands firm in its belief that those who live in the forest must lead the conversations about its future.

In line with this principle, Treesistance will not send its own European delegation. Instead, all resources will be directed to ensuring our Indigenous partners from Pará can attend and represent their territories and communities through the Answer Caravan (Caravana da Resposta).

The Amazon is their home. Their lived experience and stewardship hold intrinsic value in shaping real and lasting climate solutions. We believe the time has come for global decision-makers to listen directly to Indigenous peoples — not for others to speak on their behalf… especially when standing on their lands.
