"We, as defenders of nature, of life, of the existence of humanity, we don’t count on legal support, since the Peruvian government and the companies are practically an enemy of the Indigenous movement, of Indigenous people, when we claim our right to life."
– Olivia Bisa

Olivia Bisa is the first female president of the Chapra Nation in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. Olivia is receiving death threats for standing up to the oil industry in her people's territory. In response, Amazon Watch is supporting Olivia’s security – and we need your help.

Will you donate today to support Olivia's security and defend Earth Defenders at risk?

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

Violence against the Earth and women go hand in hand. We resist this violence by working in direct solidarity with women defenders of the Amazon.

This Friday is International Women’s Day. Thank you for celebrating by directly supporting Indigenous women defenders of the Amazon!

For the Amazon and Mother Earth,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
