The Amazon River accounts for approximately 20% of the total volume of freshwater which reaches seas and oceans. In addition to water from melting Andes glaciers, an important part of its sources are located in northern frontier and central plateau regions. The (substantial) presence of indigenous lands in these regions and along the main headwaters, as well as corridors and mosaics, make them fundamental producers-consumers of these water resources. Indigenous lands and conservation units cover more than 40% of the total Brazilian Legal Amazon area. In addition to production and conservation of water, indigenous lands play a relevant role in conserving the biodiversity of the Amazon. There are relevant overlaps among indigenous lands, national parks, and biological reserves, in which areas with endemic species are located. Indigenous lands are also present in large numbers in areas that connect the Amazon and cerrado. Traditional knowledge about biodiversity is a fundamental source for scientific research. The immense cultural diversity in the Amazon is directly related to its immense biological diversity. In sum, indigenous territories cannot be considered mere carbon stocks. They are the spaces in which these peoples will develop their future livelihoods and REDD projects or payment for environmental services, which require long-term conservation of these climate and environmental services, should never overlook this fact.
