Today is World Environment Day, and indigenous people are facing yet another extreme threat to their physical and cultural survival as COVID-19 continues to spread across the Amazon.

Together, we can take action in solidarity with these frontline Earth Defenders who have protected the Amazon for centuries.

The Amazon rainforest and its peoples face constant attacks from destructive industries like mining, agribusiness, logging, and fossil fuels. Now these activities bring with them a new threat: land invaders and workers who enter indigenous territories without permission are spreading COVID-19 to these uniquely vulnerable communities.

Support the call for an immediate moratorium on any activity that includes the entering of foreign persons into indigenous territories!
