[ [link removed] ]Amazon rainforest on fire
John,
2050. That’s when the Amazon will collapse past the point of no
return plunging us all into a terrifying future. Unless we act now.
As you read this, our leaders are plotting a trade deal that will see the
Amazon permanently up in flames. But we have a plan to stop this
recklessness!
The EU elections in June are our chance to influence politicians to block
this Amazon-destroying trade deal before it's finalised. We’re quickly
running out of time.
John, if 7500 Ekō members chip in the cost of a cup of coffee,
we could use the next few weeks to unleash an intensive strategic push in
key countries ahead of the elections: commissioning polls, running
targeted ads and mobilising voters to support candidates who care about
saving our rainforests.
Tomorrow is too late – we have to act now. Can you chip in today to save
the Amazon?

Scientists are sounding the alarm: nearly half of the rainforest faces
large-scale collapse by 2050 if we don’t take action now to turn things
around.
Passing the EU-Mercosur deal would be signing the Amazon’s death warrant.
Increased demand for meat and soy from countries like Brazil will unleash
a wave of deforestation, lining the pockets of agribusiness while
destroying the world’s largest carbon sink and violently displacing
Indigenous communities.
Toxic pesticide giants like Bayer and BASF stand to profit from this
carnage too – they have been lobbying relentlessly to get this disastrous
deal passed. We can’t let them win.
Global opposition is growing. Millions of farmers across Europe have taken
to the streets demanding a stop to this deal. And it’s working! President
Macron recently appealed directly to the European Commission, urging to
end the negotiations. France wields huge influence within the EU to block
the deal, but they can’t do it alone…we need your help to increase the
pressure on more countries so they join France in stopping this deal.
For just the cost of a cup of coffee, you can help fuel a huge
people-powered movement in Europe to pressure our political leaders to
block this shady agreement once and for all. But for this to work, we need
Ekō members behind us. Can you chip in to protect our rainforests and our
planet?
