Dear Jack,
Which South American forest has the fastest rate of deforestation in the world?
(HINT: it’s not the Amazon)
The Chaco forest in Paraguay wins that dubious award. It’s home to the only
uncontacted people in South America outside the Amazon – small groups of the
Ayoreo tribe. But bulldozers are closing in on the remaining islands of forest,
threatening their very survival.

The Chaco is the second largest forest in South America – an immense ecosystem
of semi-dry forest, completely unlike the Amazon. Vast regions have been sold to
cattle ranchers, forcing those Ayoreo who are uncontacted to live on the run.
Life is a constant flight from the invaders that are destroying their home.
Since the 1970s, Survival has worked with contacted Ayoreo communities fighting
to secure their land. Almost 1.4 million acres of their ancestral land has been
recognized so far.
But there’s much more to be done to ensure the survival of uncontacted Ayoreo
communities.

The fight isn’t over until the Ayoreo have ownership of ALL their ancestral
lands, and the uncontacted Ayoreo can stop running, and finally live in peace.
Please take action today.
Yours,
Teresa Mayo
