As fires rage across the Amazon and pivotal elections take place, many of us are searching for solutions that align with our values and vision for the planet. This might be why you’re a part of the Amazon Watch community – because you believe Indigenous peoples’ leadership is the most just and effective way to protect the rainforest and address the climate crisis.

Your support is more crucial than ever. No matter what happens, we will continue to advance Indigenous rights and resist destructive, extractive systems. Will you join us by starting a monthly gift today?

Just last week, the Munduruku people of Brazil celebrated a hard-fought victory for their ancestral territory, Sawré Muybu, advancing to the final stages of official land demarcation. This monumental win strengthens Indigenous land rights rights across the region and helps protect the Tapajós River and nearby rainforests from megadams and railways.

Amazon Watch has worked alongside the Munduruku for over a decade, providing financial, legal, and communications support. Indigenous land rights protect communities from destruction, making them stronger in the face of climate change.

Your monthly gift directly supports Indigenous peoples’ solutions for the Amazon. The Sawré Muybu success proves that Indigenous peoples and allies like you can achieve incredible victories even in the face of immense pressures.

Start a monthly gift today and stand with the rainforest, its protectors, and the vision of a just and thriving Earth.

Together for the Amazon,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
