Happy Earth Day! Today, we celebrate Earth Defenders and their vital work protecting land, water, and life. Any true solution for the Amazon and our planet starts with solidarity with Indigenous peoples.

Will you make a special Earth Day donation in honor of Amazonian Earth Defenders? Generous donors are matching all gifts up to $50,000 through April 30 and we’re more than halfway to our goal!

100% of your donation will be matched and goes directly to our program work.

When you make a donation to Amazon Watch, you recognize the power of Indigenous movements throughout the Amazon and beyond to permanently protect the rainforest and human rights. Your donation is an act of climate justice and a commitment to the future we know is possible!

Envision this future with us:

Indigenous autonomy and self-determination are honored in global decision-making spaces. Standing forests are kept standing, averting the tipping point we currently face and avoiding the worst of the climate crisis. Violence against the Earth and its defenders is prevented and destructive development halted. Climate justice is at the center of international policies relating to nature.

Every day, we work toward this future with real actions in the present.

On Earth Day, please join us in celebrating the leadership and visions of Earth Defenders of the Amazon with a gift today, which will be matched!

Thank you for amplifying Indigenous rights, resistance, and solutions today and every day. Happy Earth Day!

For the Amazon, with gratitude,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director

 
P.S. Can your donation go even further for the Amazon? Many employers match employee giving. The email receipt you’ll receive for your donation is often all you need to see your gift matched again!
