I am writing to you personally as the leader of more than 500 indigenous nations. I'm at the world's largest conservation summit, fighting for indigenous rights and the goal of protecting half the planet, including 80% of the Amazon. But ambition is being throttled by politics, and we’re only a handful of indigenous leaders here, but if millions of citizens back our call, we can wake leaders up! I will personally deliver our voices to all Members of the IUCN, calling on them to protect our homelands and at least half the planet to ensure life on Earth thrives. Add your name now and share with everyone: Dear Avaaz community, I’m writing to you as the leader of more than 500 indigenous nations across the Amazon to ask for your support.Days ago, I left my home, my family, and my mother, the Amazon rainforest, to attend the world’s biggest conservation summit and deliver an urgent call to protect at least half the planet, including 80% of the Amazon.We MUST protect the forests, rivers, and oceans that sustain us all, from the Amazon to Africa and Indonesia. Our survival depends on it. But too many of our leaders are still blinded by short-term political compromises -- refusing to stop our forests from burning, our rivers from dying, and thousands and thousands of species going extinct.So we’re taking a stand. We’re only a handful of indigenous leaders here, but if millions across the world back us, we can wake them up!So join me now, and I will use my speech to governments to deliver our voices in the heart of the negotiations, urging them to protect our homelands and at least half the Earth -- before it's too late:
