The Tupinamba people are locked in a desperate fight to save their home,
the Amazon rainforest, from greedy logging corporations.

They’ve got a plan to protect their land from the loggers, but they need
your help.

Can you chip in to save the Amazon and stand with the Tupinamba?

John,

The Tupinamba are racing against the clock to stop a massive logging
company bent on razing huge swaths of the Amazon rainforest they call
home.

The Tupinamba’s only chance to defend their land is by filing a legal
claim with the government. That means trekking through the jungle,
painstakingly marking off the borders of their land.

Thanks to SumOfUs members like you, they’re half-way there. But they’re
running out of money at a crucial step: a group of ten scientists is on
their way to help the Tupinamba. They’ll collect data that will bolster
the Tupinamba’s claim on the land. But they need fresh supplies to get the
mission on the road including GPS, rowboats and satellite phones.

to protect Indigenous lands from greedy corporate loggers?

Brazil's right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro has proven disastrous for the
more than 900,000 Indigenous people living in the Brazilian Amazon. He’s
blatantly encouraged massive expansions of mining, logging, and
slash-and-burn agriculture throughout Indigenous lands. Just last year,
destructive mining activity in Indigenous territories nearly doubled.

Thankfully, the Tupinamba are able to take the defense of their lands into
their own hands by self-demarcating their borders. The only problem: the
work is incredibly difficult and time-consuming, requiring traveling
hundreds of kilometers, on foot and by boat, through dense jungle
environments.

They’re determined to keep going, and plan to set off in just a matter of
days. They’re going to need money for GPS, rowboats, satellite phones --
and every extra penny will go towards campaigning to protect the Amazon
rainforest. Can you help out, John?

We know we can win this fight because you’ve done it before. SumOfUs
members like you donated to support Indigenous peoples in Canada fighting
to protect their lands from wide-scale spraying of the toxic pesticide
glyphosate, and together, we won.

With your donation today, you can help the Tupinamba people achieve a
massive victory in their fight to preserve their lands for future
generations to come. Claiming their boundary lines will force the
government to recognize their claims -- but it’s only possible with your
support.
