As the new U.S. administration threatens to derail global efforts to combat climate change, the Amazon and its Indigenous stewards face mounting dangers, from oil drilling and mining to worsening climate events. This #GivingTuesday, you have the power to support Indigenous peoples who have defended the Amazon for centuries and hold the solutions to the climate crisis now.

Will you stand with us? All #GivingTuesday gifts are being doubled until midnight!

Until midnight tonight, generous donors are matching all gifts up to $50,000, and we’re almost to our goal!

On the front lines of the rainforest, Indigenous communities are working to break the current cycle of destruction and usher in a new era of climate justice. We’ve seen what can happen when we support their work: last week, a Brazilian court annulled mining company Belo Sun’s concession to carve a massive gold mine in the heart of the Amazon! These victories impact our planet for the better. Will you make today a day of hope and action toward the world we know is possible?

Your gift, which will be doubled until midnight tonight, will help us:

• Protect biocultural diversity and safeguard Indigenous lands
• Amplify Indigenous-led climate solutions across the Amazon
• Hold mining and fossil fuel corporations like Belo Sun accountable and STOP their destruction of the Amazon

Indigenous peoples remind us that our futures are interconnected – the health of the Amazon affects everyone, everywhere. This #GivingTuesday, stand with the courageous Earth Defenders safeguarding their territories – and our planet – for generations to come. You can truly make a difference.

Together, we will build the future we want to see for the rainforest and our planet!

For the Amazon,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
