The Amazon rainforest connects us all. Its biodiversity, flowing fresh water, and beautiful rainforests are vital for our climate and Earth. And Indigenous peoples are leading the movement to protect it for generations to come.
You can take one simple action in solidarity with Amazonian peoples today: make a year-end gift to defend Indigenous ancestral territories in the rainforest. Your fellow donors are matching all donations until midnight on December 31st!
All gifts up to $200,000 will be matched by generous donors to support Indigenous rights and solutions for the rainforest.
This year, we saw the power of Indigenous solutions shine:
|
Ecuadorians voted to halt a major oil drilling project in Yasunà National Park, which is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth and home to Indigenous peoples, including those living in voluntary isolation.
|
|
Indigenous women gained more representation in leadership roles, from Indigenous organizations to national governments.
|
|
Brazil's Indigenous movement secured the recognition of more than 800,000 hectares of Indigenous lands, with more now in progress!
|
This is where real progress happens. There is still much work to do. The Amazon faces a tipping point, and we have to act now to permanently protect the remaining rainforest. Your solidarity with Indigenous peoples truly makes a difference.
Please join us on this path with a year-end gift today – for the Amazon and Mother Earth!
In partnership and hope,
Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
P.S. Many employers match employee giving. The email receipt you'll receive for your donation is often all you need to submit by year-end to see your gift matched AGAIN for the Amazon!
