We are a group of people committed to promoting life and environmental protection, the growth of nature. We believe that if there are things we don't like happening on Earth, instead of complaining or shrinking back, it is better to use that impulse to do our part in the other direction, in the sense of promoting life. We plant a tree, we plant life in all its diversity and to improve the quality of life of those most in need.
When someone whose basic needs are met travels to a developing place like the Amazon rainforest, they experience a great contradiction. On the one hand, they feel and enjoy an incredible natural environment, rich in diversity and full of life. On the other hand, they suffer from a jungle that is disappearing along with all the animals that live there. In addition, they see the difficulties that its inhabitants have in meeting their basic needs: drinking clean water, feeding themselves throughout the year, and receiving health care or education.
Our aims are to:
● Plant trees where they have been felled to restore the biodiversity in those
areas.
● Help indigenous peoples living between two worlds. On one hand, they have
their ancestral customs and way of life while on the other, hectic modern life
with a lifestyle based on over-consumption, with no clear values, where it
seems that material values come foremost, a world where the natural setting
is being depredated.
● Provide all necessary resources for indigenous peoples to reforest their lands.
In return, we take care of their basic needs: Educational, health and nutritional
needs, while reinforcing their culture and traditions.
● Help children in need who do not have the basics of life.
At Guardiões da Vida, we have a policy of total transparency towards our employees. Economic data is available to members, allowing them to verify the proper use of resources.
