As a Fulbright scholar in 2022, Tiffany explored the Tocantins River to uncover the impacts on traditional communities of a proposed government industrial project threatening to turn the river into a commodities channel for agribusiness, mining, and cattle exports. Her work has received the support of the Pulitzer Rainforest Journalism Fund. She is currently writing a book investigating the proposed project, documenting Tocantins River peoples’ little-covered lifeways, fishing and cultural practices, following them as they resist the industrial channel. Collaborating with community partners is essential to Tiffany’s process, as she strives to unveil hidden truths about the Amazon. Discover her work here.
