The forest speaks
We listen
We believe in a future inspired by nature and guided by purpose. In the strength of a wildcat racing through the forest. In the gentleness of someone painting a new way of seeing the world. In the rhythm of the heart that beats when we are together, in motion.
Join Guardians of Life and help inspire a more conscious future.
About Us
Guardians of Life is a non‑profit civil society organization with national and international operations, registered as a 501(c)(3) in the United States, dedicated to raising awareness, educating, and mobilizing action around environmental and social causes.
Our work focuses on creating high‑impact campaigns, educational and sports programs, and cultural initiatives that strengthen the protection of life in all its forms: human, environmental, and cultural. We also act as strategic partners to frontline organizations, supporting NGOs that conduct research, fieldwork, and community‑based projects.
Art and sport reach places
reports cannot.
We believe in its power to plant ideas, cultivate empathy, and foster lasting change.

Whether as a donor, partner, artist, or educator, there is a place for you in this movement.
Strengthening the Guardians is our purpose.
Guardians of Life represents, both clearly and symbolically, a commitment to protecting and valuing life in all its dimensions: environmental, social, and cultural. Our work spans a range of themes, including nature conservation, climate justice, the rights of traditional communities, and social equity.
What ties all these efforts together is the understanding that collective well‑being and the planet’s sustainability depend on caring for the life of ecosystems, cultures, people, and future generations.

Through educational and inclusion initiatives in schools and communities, we aim to inspire children and adults to care for our planet, nurturing a new generation of Guardians of Life who protect, respect, and celebrate nature.
The name Guardians of Life is a tribute to the people we choose to walk with.
They are: Indigenous communities; quilombola communities; riverside communities; environmental leaders; women leaders; defenders of rights and biodiversity — the true guardians of life.
INITIATIVES AND PARTNERS
We were founded as the social arm of Artery and Float, organizations that produce large‑scale cultural and sports projects already established by events like the Jaguar Parade, which displays life‑sized jaguar sculptures in major cities. The Jaguar Parade has reached millions of people in cities such as New York, Paris, São Paulo, and Rio de Janeiro.
With Guardians of Life, we have now expanded our scope to other projects and partnerships.
Art - Jaguar Parade
(in partnership with Artery)
An open‑air exhibition that brings together art and conservation. Life‑sized jaguar sculptures transform cities and awaken awareness of the importance of protecting nature.
Art - Art of Love
(in partnership with Artery)
An artistic movement that spreads empathy and purpose. Art finds a voice to inspire love, awareness, and new ways of caring for the world.
Sport — Jaguar Run
(in partnership with Float)
More than a race: a call for life. Sport becomes a symbol of unity and commitment to preserving nature.
Art - Art for Pets
(in partnership with Artery)
In a world that celebrates loyalty and unconditional love, it is heartbreaking to witness the reality of animal abandonment and abuse. Art for Pets captivates while raising awareness and generating resources for NGOs committed to the cause of animal welfare.
