A quiet revolution is stirring in the Amazon.

Peru could grant its native bees, and nature itself, legal rights to exist and flourish — recognising that all life is deeply connected. Indigenous communities are leading the charge. So let’s rise with them! Add your name and they’ll deliver our voices to Peru’s Congress:

SIGN NOW! ( [link removed] )

Dear friends,

For millennia, Amazonian

stingless bees have buzzed through the trees, pollinating 80% of the rainforest.

They make themiracle of the Amazon possible , but their hum is falling silent, their habitats lost and poisoned by pesticides.

NowPeru could make history by granting these amazing bees — and nature itself — fundamental legal rights to exist and flourish. It would protect both the bees and their habitats!

The revolution has already begun.One province has just passed this groundbreaking law , more could follow, and now, from deep in the forest, Indigenous leaders are rising to take it to Peru’s Congress . Let’s rise with them!

When enough of us sign, Indigenous allies will deliver our voices direct to Peru’s lawmakers — add your name to demand rights for the Amazon’s bees!

All over the world, a legal revolution is taking place . Ecuador enshrined rights for nature in its Constitution. New Zealand granted legal personhood to the Whanganui River. And Peru has already recognised the rights of Lake Titicaca and the Marañón River.

Nowthese astonishing Amazonian bees, ancient allies in the great dance of life, could be the first insect to be granted fundamental rights.

This is about much more than bees.It’s about forests, climate, food, and the sacred interconnection of all life . Add your voice to demand rights for the bees, and let’s build a deafening global chorus to say clearly: nature is alive, and has the right to flourish!

The Avaaz community has helped transform laws before — 5 million of us helped win the EU ban on bee-killing pesticides. We’ve marched, petitioned, funded science, and stood with beekeepers and defenders of life. And now we can be part of a revolution: Nature has rights, and recognising them could change everything.

With hope and fierce determination,
Alice, Bert, Nate, Pascal, Joana, Eza, and the whole Avaaz-team
