"Coronavirus could wipe us out."


COVID-19 poses a mortal threat to Amazonian indigenous peoples, and they are sounding the alarm. There have already been at least 1,868 cases of the disease in the region and 59 deaths. Those numbers are likely to explode in the coming weeks, and we need to take action now to prevent more deaths.

Responding to calls for international support, Amazon Watch partnered with indigenous organizations and over 80 environmental and human rights organizations to issue a public statement demanding a moratorium on all extractive activities and religious proselytization and other urgent measures to deal with critical health, food, and security emergencies.

Amazonian indigenous communities took steps to protect themselves weeks ago by closing their territories to any outsiders and demanding immediate action from their governments. In addition to supporting these urgent demands, Amazon Watch has been ramping up several rapid response grants to our indigenous allies via our Amazon Defenders Fund.

Help us amplify this international statement in solidarity with indigenous demands!
