Amid the fires, hope shines in the Amazon.

The Munduruku people are celebrating a historic victory: the declaration of Sawré Muybu Indigenous Territory! This is a huge milestone in their decades-long fight to secure land rights and protect the rainforests that sustain life around the planet.

Amazonian Indigenous peoples are organizing to secure their land rights, one of the most powerful solutions to protect the rainforest and our climate. You can be part of this movement. Give today and your gift will be matched!

Thanks to anonymous donors, all gifts through December 31 will be matched up to $100,000.

In Sawré Muybu, the Munduruku hosted a three-day-long celebration honoring their collective achievement with joy and gratitude for the protection of their sacred territory. Amazon Watch has stood in solidarity with the Munduruku for more than a decade to resist destructive industries and protect their homelands. Their victory is a beacon of hope for Indigenous sovereignty movements across the Amazon.

The Amazon is a vital thread in the web of life on our planet. By supporting Indigenous land rights, we strengthen this web and resist the forces of industrial extraction. Your gift today supports ongoing campaigns to protect the Amazon and its defenders.

Collective action and joy fuel our journey forward. Please give today and have your impact doubled for the Amazon!

For the Amazon and Mother Earth,

Leila Salazar-López
