The series is centered on Luiza (Leandra Leal), Natalie (Debora Falabella) and Verônica (Taís Araújo) who are the founders of an NGO for environmental protection. Together with intern Clara (Thainá Duarte), they start investigating an anonymous tip that points to a series of evidence linking a powerful mining company to illegal miners in the Amazon rainforest.[3]

The first season, consisting of 10 episodes, became available for streaming on July 2, 2019. With the technical advisor of Greenpeace and the support of other ENGOs, the series is the first original production of Globoplay that was released internationally through a Vimeo-powered platform.[4][5] The second season premiered on November 25, 2021.[6]

Under the artistic direction of Carlos Manga Jr., and the direction of Estela, the series relied on Greenpeace consultancy and with the support of other 28 human and environmental rights organizations with global presence.[8]

The President of the United Nations General Assembly, María Fernanda Espinosa, praised the production. "We must all be an Aruana, sentinels of our forests. The series shows the strength and determination of women and the need for everyone to get involved with sustainability, to live a life with dignity based on generosity with the others and with other species of our planet".[12]
