Karl von den Steinen (centro), durante sua segunda expedição ao Xingu

In von den Steinen, Karl. 1894. Unter den Naturvölkern Zentral-Brasiliens. Berlin: Hoefer & Vohsen.

"It is largely due to his influence that Germany has taken a prominent part in anthropological work in South America. Paul Ehrenreich, Max Schmidt and Theodor Koch-Grinberg were all stimulated by his enthusiasm." (Franz Boas, Obituary: Karl von den Steinen, 1930)

"Assim como a viagem ao Xingú em 1887 representa o início das expedições puramente etnográficas na América do Sul, foi Karl von den Steinen o primeiro a considerar os índios brasileiros sem qualquer preconceito e orientado sòmente pela vontade de ver o humano em todos os homens, de vê-lo com idéias largas e férteis, idéias de espírito agudo e idéias de grande coração." (Herbert Baldus, A obra de Karl von den Steinen, 1940)

We’re joining the fight to save the Amazon rainforest as Xingu Indigenous guardians battle deforestation, land grabs, and fires in Brazil.

The Amazon rainforest is one of Earth’s most important ecosystems. But in 2025, with deforestation hacking away at it, we’re dangerously close to losing it.

In the heart of Brazil, the Xingu Indigenous Territory is holding the line. It’s surrounded by the so-called Arc of Destruction, where most of Brazil’s deforestation occurs.

Here, the Indigenous communities are fighting back against illegal logging, land grabs, and fires.

That’s why, in Mission 29, we joined them to stop Amazon rainforest deforestation.

This is how we save the Amazon, by backing Indigenous guardians who’ve protected it for generations.

A special thanks to John Hemming for providing us with additional photos.
