The Amazon is in crisis. And now, with the Trump administration freezing critical funding, Indigenous peoples on the front lines of this fight are being left without the resources they need to defend their lands and our planet. The situation is growing more urgent by the day.

This is our moment to prove that people power is stronger than politics. With funding cuts threatening decades of progress, your solidarity has never been more important. Stand with frontline defenders. Make your gift today.

When communities are under attack, we must act. Amazon Watch has accompanied Indigenous peoples for nearly three decades, and we have long-term trusted relationships that enable us to channel direct support. Without action, corporations and organized crime networks will tighten their grip on the Amazon, pushing it closer to collapse.

We're calling on all of you – donors, grassroots supporters, and especially donor-advised funds who have already committed to funding vital causes – to go further and do more. Together, we can ensure that Indigenous peoples have the resources to continue protecting the Amazon – and our planet.

Your support today will:
   🔥 Get emergency funds to Indigenous leaders defending their lands
   🌱 Protect forests that are key to stopping climate collapse
   ⚖️ Hold corporations and governments accountable for destruction

While many of us are feeling overwhelmed, this is the time to lean into our collective power. Indigenous leaders need support NOW. Will you rise up?

For the Amazon,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
