Three weeks ago, Amazon Watch got an urgent message: a Shipibo partner in Peru had received a death threat, painted on his fence, for his work protecting Indigenous leaders from attacks. Thanks to supporters like you, we could immediately help his family move to a secure location, spread his story in the media, and coordinate with the U.N. and U.S. Embassy in Lima to stop the threat from being carried out.

Indigenous peoples will never stop protecting their homelands and ways of life, but they can’t face these threats alone. Will you defend Earth Defenders by starting a monthly gift to Amazon Watch? Your gift helps us respond to threats immediately and support Indigenous partners not only when they’re at risk, but all along the way.

Start a monthly donation by May 31 and be entered to win an Amazon-themed t-shirt and craft from the Kichwa community of Sarayaku!

Your monthly gift will support immediate protection measures like home security systems, mobile phones and satellite coverage, physical accompaniment, and emergency funding. You’ll also support Amazon Watch as we advocate for Earth Defenders’ safety and issue alerts to governments and international allies.

Your solidarity in these life-or-death moments matters. Start a monthly donation to Amazon Watch today to help us respond immediately to threats and support Indigenous peoples’ solutions for their long-term safety and well-being. Thank you!

For the Amazon and its Defenders,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
