This year, the Amazon and its indigenous inhabitants have endured unprecedented fires, aggressive land invasions, and escalating repression and killings of indigenous earth defenders.
Yet the global community responded in a way it never has before, as so many now realize the future of indigenous earth defenders is intertwined with that of the entire planet. The Amazon rainforest stabilizes our global climate, and it is veering ever closer to a tipping point from which it may never recover.
Our movement has reached its own tipping point, and with your support we are winning important victories for the Amazon! Another came just last week when Chinese-owned Andes Petroleum was forced to abandon its efforts to drill for oil on Sapara and Kichwa territories in the Ecuadorian Amazon.
Not only will all donations go directly to this vital program work, but between now and Giving Tuesday on December 3rd, all donations will be matched up to $50,000! Give now to help us reach our goal!
If you're able, please become a monthly donor. Every new ally who commits to this work makes more future victories possible.
Thank you!
