The Xokleng people suffer a lot of prejudice and a lot of harm from the government and other institutions who want to take away the land where they live and their rights, now they are trying to fight back by spreading their culture and asking for help.

Here is a bit about them (in their own words):

Our sole and exclusive cause is to remove our most sacred tree, the Zág (Araucaria angustifolia, Parana pine) from extinction. It is currently in the last stage before being considered extinct in the wild. It is the most critical stage of all.

We have been carrying out this work since 2018, but we still lack some tools and have continuous expenses with food and accommodation for volunteers, fuel for transporting the seedlings, in addition to the need to acquire more protective equipment and some biodegradable materials that are used in the production of seedlings.

As there are no more mature trees in our Indigenous Land, we have to travel hundreds of kilometers every year to obtain the seeds directly from nature. All our activities are carried out in the most traditional way possible of Laklãnõ techniques, combining them with modern agroforestry techniques.

The purpose of the fund raised is to make more araucaria planting actions possible within the Laklãnõ Indigenous Land for the next season.
