John, I just wanted to make sure you saw this before it’s too late. Ruthless logging companies want to destroy the ancestral home of Brazil’s Tupinamba people, just to make a quick buck. The Tupinamba are halfway through a gruelling mission to save their land, and they need your help to make it a success. Donating just takes a moment -- use Paypal or your card.

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.

Can you chip in $1 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?

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.
