There is one day left to participate in the $1 million match for the Amazon! This June, generous donors have been matching gifts up to $1 million to secure Indigenous land rights and rainforest protection. We're over 95% of the way to our goal! Will you help us reach $1 million for the Amazon?
100% of your donation will be MATCHED through June 30 and goes directly to our program work.
This match is building urgent solidarity support for our Indigenous partners to secure land rights, like with the recent demarcation (official land titling) of more than 1.5 million acres in Brazil. Securing Indigenous land rights helps prevent land theft, extractivism, and violence against Amazonian Indigenous peoples. It is the best way to protect the rainforest now and for the future.
Now, the Munduruku Indigenous land of Sawré Muybu is being considered for demarcation! As a longtime ally, Amazon Watch has supported the Munduruku's demarcation process through solidarity funding and capacity-building measures, including a recent solar installation to provide clean and dependable power for territorial monitoring and educational and economic activities.
The message from Amazonian Indigenous peoples is clear: Now is the moment for allies to step up and do everything we can to resist rollbacks of Indigenous rights and advance land titling. We are doing this by fully funding our partners' resistance and solutions. Will you be a part of this momentum with a gift today?
Thank you for being part of the $1 million match for the Amazon! Your gift will be doubled for the rainforest and its defenders.
Onward, 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!
