Dear John,

Right now, world leaders are gathered for COP30 in Belém, Brazil—in the heart of the Amazon rainforest.

The Amazon is dangerously close to a tipping point: approximately 17% has already been lost. Scientists warn that a 20–25% loss could trigger an irreversible collapse.

When that happens, we all pay the price:

• More extreme heat waves and unpredictable weather

• Higher food prices and increased food insecurity as crops fail

• Water shortages affecting communities everywhere

This isn’t a distant problem. Tropical forests regulate weather patterns, purify water supplies, and help keep our climate stable enough to grow the food we depend on. They're working for you right now, whether you see them or not.

Nature needs us now to protect the tropical forests that make our lives possible. World leaders at COP30 need to hear from you.

Your message takes 2 minutes and could help shift the conversation at the world’s most important climate meeting this year.

Sincerely,

P.S. I know there's a lot competing for your attention. But this is one of those moments where your voice can actually push leaders to do something big.
