Conservation International operates in more than 30 countries across six continents. In Brazil, Conservacao Internacional Brasil, focuses on the Amazon Rainforest, Atlantic Rainforest, and Cerrado biomes, alongside critical marine and coastal priority areas. Our Indigenous Peoples Strategy prioritizes the Xingu and Jurua river basins in the Brazilian Amazon Rainforest, engaging with Indigenous Lands of the Ashaninka, Noke Koi, Yawanawa, Kayapo, Panara, and Xingu Indigenous communities. Our projects address a range of issues from climate resilience to gender equity. Some of our current flagship projects include: Our Future Forests (2021-2024, funded by the French Government): Strengthening Yawanawa and Ashaninka Indigenous organizations, improving protected area management through territorial monitoring (such as the pilot prototype here proposed), supporting young Indigenous leaders, and promoting sustainable production chains. L'Oreal Fund For Women (2022-2024): Empowering Kayapo women through the establishment of 39 sewing houses, which have directly and indirectly benefitted around 1,800 women through employment and sustainable alternative livelihood opportunities. This project fosters economic autonomy and strengthens women's roles within their communities. Xingu+ (2023-2028, funded by HP): Enhancing territorial protection, environmental monitoring, and sustainable management of the Panara Indigenous Land and the Xingu River Protected Areas Corridor, covering approximately 150,000 hectares. This project also strengthens the Xingu+ network, an alliance of 32 organizations working to defend the 25,000 IP&LC members and 26 million preserved hectares of the Xingu Socio-Environmental Diversity Corridor.

Every day, lives are changed by a single, selfless act - the gift of organ donation. Among those waiting for transplants are 2 groups of people: those who die waiting and those who receive the gift of life. Our work raises awareness of the urgent need for organ and tissue donors while helping recipients who have overcome the impossible to live life to the fullest. These individuals have faced life's greatest challenges; they are advocates for the cause but need resources, education and community. Transplant recipients have a unique opportunity to advocate for organ donation and raise awareness. Physical activity plays a crucial role in the recovery and long-term health of recipients. When recipients compete in world events, they demonstrate to the world what can be achieved through the gift of organ donation. Additionally, our programs provide recipients with community, tools, and resources to address the many challenges they face, leading to an increased quality of life. The WTGF promotes amateur sport amongst recipients, living donors and donor families; promoting the study of transplantation; educating the public and raising awareness of the world shortage of donor organs; sharing new knowledge from biological/clinical studies; promotion of mental and moral improvement for recipients, living donors and donor families; fostering international friendship and relations.

An estimated 800,000 children in the European Union are separated from an imprisoned parent on any given day. Yet few people are aware of the impact that a parent's incarceration can have on a child. Children separated from a parent in prison frequently experience multiple emotional and social difficulties associated with their parent's incarceration. They not only have to cope with the parent's absence and the disruption of the child-parent bond, but are also vulnerable to social exclusion, financial hardship, discrimination and shame. Children of Prisoners Europe (COPE) is a pan-European network which encourages innovative perspectives and practice to ensure that the rights of these children (as enshrined in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Convention on Human Rights) are fully respected and that action is taken to secure their well-being and healthy development. The network is a membership-based organisation made up of non-governmental organisations and individuals across Europe and beyond, linked by a staff team based at its French headquarters. Raising awareness among child-related agencies, prison services and policymakers to the specific needs of children of prisoners and promoting initiatives that take these needs into account, the organisation is seeking to: - Expand programmes that support the child-parent relationship and help minimise violence for children with an imprisoned parent; - Introduce the child's perspective throughout the criminal justice process, from arrest to resettlement; - Foster cross-sectoral collaboration among public and private agencies involved in supporting and making decisions about children of prisoners; - Obtain better information and greater visibility for prisoners' children and influence policy at the national, European and international level on their behalf; - Promote the exchange of initiatives, expertise and good practice for children with imprisoned parents; - Enhance the competence of professionals within the field. Working to foster the promotion and provision of policies, frameworks and meaningful action on behalf of children affected by parental incarceration to protect their development and well-being, our aim is to ease the burden of the imprisonment of a parent on the child.
