Puyr Tembé is a leader from the Tembé Indigenous peoples of Alto Rio Guama in the Brazilian Amazon, where the rainforest's sacred biodiversity is threatened by intense logging. As I've gotten to know Puyr over the last few years, she has profoundly inspired me through her courageous work defending Indigenous land rights, biocultural diversity, and our collective future on Earth.

Will you donate today to move us toward this future? In honor of Earth Day, generous donors are matching all gifts up to $100,000 through April 30!

Add a note for Puyr Tembé when you donate and we'll share your message of support with her!

Puyr is Secretary of Indigenous Peoples of the Brazilian state of Pará and co-founder of the National Association of Indigenous Ancestral Women Warriors. She is a mother, grandmother, daughter, and respected leader in Brazil's Indigenous movement.

This month, Amazon Watch is supporting Indigenous women leaders like Puyr, and mobilizing funds for delegations to Free Land Camp (Acampamento Terra Livre, or ATL), Brazil's largest annual gathering of Indigenous peoples. ATL is one of the most important spaces for Brazil's Indigenous movement to amplify their calls for land rights and climate justice to politicians and allies around the world, like you.

Your donation today is a tangible action of solidarity for Puyr and the Indigenous movement in Brazil. You can add a note for Puyr when you donate, and we'll deliver your message of support to her before Indigenous peoples of Brazil mobilize to Free Land Camp on April 22!

Thank you and happy Earth Month!

For the Amazon and our collective future,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
