Today is a day that looks and feels different for everyone. Some gather to give thanks, and some mourn and reflect on this country’s history.

But whatever it looks like for you, don’t forget to take a moment to learn how you can be an ally to Indigenous peoples facing the biggest threat to the Amazon! There is a modern-day land grabbing fueled by illegal economies, and Indigenous peoples can be a central component in the solution – IF their own governance and territorial protection systems are supported.

I’LL SUPPORT BUILDING AWARENESS ABOUT THIS THREAT IN SOLIDARITY WITH INDIGENOUS PEOPLES

Our newest report, Amazon Underworld, reveals that the Amazon is now home to a complex underground economy that feeds global demand but also fuels violence and deforestation. If these increasingly powerful criminal organizations go unchecked, they will pose an existential threat to the planet’s most biodiverse region and the communities it shelters.

Just as Indigenous peoples have proven to be a xxxxxx against deforestation, they can be a central component in the fight against illegal activities in the Amazon through their own governance and territorial control systems.

Take action to combat this growing threat by building awareness and demanding Indigenous land rights be respected.
