As much of the world's focus has turned to the horrific fires ravaging the Amazon in Brazil and Bolivia, many have asked what they can do to help.

We must educate and motivate people to take action in defense of indigenous rights and put pressure on the governments and corporations profiting from the Amazon's destruction.

This short video, launched during Climate Week, is an effort to broaden the public's understanding about not only what is happening in the Amazon, but also what we can do about it as a global community.
