As you read this, the beating heart of our planet is being set on fire.
The Amazon is ablaze – again.
Farmers and land grabbers are burning the forest to the ground to expand
cattle farming and industrial agriculture production. We’re running out
of time to protect the largest tropical forest in the world. To win the
fight against the health, climate and biodiversity crises we are in, we
must stop the destruction of the Amazon.
Our future depends on it.
The Amazon plays a vital role in stabilizing our global climate. Home to
unique plants, animals and thousands of Indigenous Peoples and
traditional communities, it is a place governed by the power of nature.
Without it, our planet cannot sustain life.
But the heart of our planet is under attack: Brazilian President
Bolsonaro and his government encourage the exploitation of the Amazon
and threaten its guardians, Indigenous Peoples. Bolsonaro’s
administration is handing over this essential ecosystem and our
collective future to mining and industrial agriculture.
Every day, over 1.2 million trees are torn down in the Amazon. If we
don’t stop Bolsonaro and the agribusiness destructive agenda, the
delicate fabric of life woven by the forest could be undone forever.
This is not just a threat to the Amazon and to the Brazilian people.
This is a fatal blow to the hope of a livable future for all of us.
This is a battle we must win.
And there’s only one way to win: Together.
We've been working tirelessly since 2018 to protect the Amazon and
adjacent biomes.
Together, we're putting pressure on the Brazilian Government to protect
the ancestral lands of Indigenous Peoples' and save the lungs of our
planet.
And we're doing it with the help of people like you.
