John,

The landmark agreement responsible for protecting 500,000 acres of the
Amazon each year is under serious threat.

Cargill and others agreed to stop buying soy grown in the Amazon over 20
years ago. Now they're trying to go back on their promise – and meeting in
days!

Public campaigning won the Amazon soy ban and changed the fate of the
world's most beloved rainforest. Now we can do it again, if we urgently
mobilize members and affected communities to face down the industry before
a vote to end the soy ban. Will you chip in to help make it happen?

Brazil is the largest grower and exporter of soy in the world! Before
companies worked with activists and environmental groups to institute a
ban on soy-related deforestation, they were systematically destroying the
rainforest to plant this crop. Soy was once a major driver of
deforestation in Brazil.

This agreement changed that. It drastically reduced deforestation and
created a safe haven for the Amazon's precious ecosystem. 

But soy exporters want to make more money and they think the world isn't
paying attention to a "loophole" they tabled at an upcoming routine
meeting. And if this ban is ended or even weakened, it could open up 2.7
million acres of forest for soy production, accelerating deforestation,
land grabbing and more. We have to prove them wrong!

A show of public support for the ban can ensure this vote fails, and give
this incredibly effective soy ban another 20 years of life. Let's come
together now to fund it, and other campaigns to save vital forests around
the world.

Protecting the Amazon requires unprecedented cooperation from many
industries and multiple national governments. The only way that happens is
if there’s incredible, global public support. Our community has been a
vital part of that movement for over a decade. We can’t stop now. [ Save ]Are
