Sumaúma wants to be the main contributor, in the field of journalism, to the creation of a global human community capable of living organically with the planet and its beings and thus being able to create futures.

It is made up of journalists with decades in the profession who have understood that, in the face of the climate emergency and the sixth mass extinction of species, they need to create something different.

Their values can be summed up in two words: forest first. The forest - its nature and its people - must come before the market. This is an approach based on both cutting-edge climate science and traditional indigenous thinking.
