The Amazon rainforest is facing its most devastating fires in 20 years.

This environmental, humanitarian, and climate emergency is threatening not only the heart of the Amazon, but the lives and livelihoods of Indigenous communities on the front lines. They are urgently calling for help – and Amazon Watch is answering through our Amazon Fire Response Fund.

We need your support today to provide critical relief. Your gift will allow us to:

• Distribute life-saving protective equipment
• Support Indigenous firefighting teams and forest guardians
• Deliver emergency food supplies to affected communities

At the same time, your generosity helps us continue the fight to protect the Amazon for the future — working toward a rainforest that is more resilient and less prone to catastrophic fires.

Like the climate crisis driving it, this disaster is man-made. It demands urgent action to end fossil fuels, permanently protect Indigenous lands, and halt industrial development and organized crime in the rainforest. Amazon Watch is leading strategic campaigns to achieve these goals, and your gift today is essential to this vital work.

In 2019, the world came together in an unprecedented show of solidarity to stop the flames. Now we must come together again to demand real solutions that address the root causes of these fires for the future of the rainforest and our planet.

Indigenous partners are asking for global support for immediate relief and long-term solutions to protect their homelands. Please give today to support the Amazon Fire Response Fund and our collective future!

For a resilient rainforest,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
