As I said in my latest video message, Amazon Watch has protected and defended the rainforest and our climate through deep solidarity with Indigenous communities for nearly 25 years. We effectively amplify the demands from the ground to international governments, financiers, and companies to push them to respect Indigenous rights and stop destroying the Amazon.
As the year comes to a close, can you partner with us to raise $200,000 for the Amazon? There are only two days left to make a tax-deductible donation in 2020. 100% of each gift goes directly to our program work!
Together we take on extractive industries and win! In July, following years of fierce international campaigning and on-the-ground opposition, GeoPark announced it will be leaving Achuar and Wampis territories! This victory happened because a global upswell of support stepped up, took action, and amplified Indigenous voices.
This year, kicking fossil fuel companies out of the Amazon became a reality after decades of organizing from Indigenous peoples and environmental groups. If you are able, can you make a donation in honor of this successful Atsá Geoparkka ("No to GeoPark!") campaign? Only together can we achieve climate justice!
Thank you!
Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
P.S. There is still time to make a Facebook fundraiser to support our work! You can ask friends and family to make gifts in your honor.
