Happy Solstice! At this natural moment of change for the Earth, we're deepening our commitment to the significant work ahead of us to permanently protect the Amazon rainforest in solidarity and partnership with Indigenous peoples.

Will you strengthen the movement for the Amazon with a donation today? All gifts for the rest of the year will be matched up to $250,000! Your tax-deductible donation will double the resources going to our work defending the rainforest, amplifying Indigenous voices and solutions, and advancing climate justice in the new year. And thanks to many generous donors, 100% of funds raised this month will go to our program work.

With support from our community, Kakataibo Indigenous leader Herlín Odicio attended meetings with government leaders in Lima and delivered thousands of your signatures in solidarity with Earth Defenders. These accountability and movement-building strategies led by our Indigenous partners are building systemic change and advancing policies for Earth Defenders across the Amazon.

Your donation to Amazon Watch creates a long-lasting impact, and through December 31 it will be doubled! Together we will ensure that Earth Defenders' calls for climate justice, self-determination, and safety are heard. Thank you for being on this path with us.

For the Amazon,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
