Earlier this week alongside the Association of Brazil’s Indigenous Peoples, we launched Complicity in Destruction IV, the first compilation of case studies exposing international actors' financing of illegal mining interests on Indigenous lands in the Brazilian Amazon. This report brings the deforestation and human rights crises imperiling the Amazon to investors' and consumers' doorsteps across the globe. We will hold those complicit accountable.
Will you resist the greed-driven destruction pushing the Amazon over the tipping point by becoming a monthly donor today?
Our report reveals that corporations in the Global North remain some of the main financiers bankrolling destruction. Together, Capital Group, BlackRock, and Vanguard have invested $14.8 billion in companies seeking to mine on Indigenous lands – companies with long track records of rights violations and pollution.
We are exposing the staggering truth: there are 2,500 pending mining applications overlapping Indigenous lands in Brazil, threatening to deforest an area the size of England.
Your donation today empowers APIB and Amazon Watch to fully leverage this report by generating awareness and bringing it to the boardrooms and shareholder meetings of the corporations financing the destruction. With your partnership, we will amplify Indigenous solutions to permanently protect the Amazon and resist its tipping point.
Now, let's get mining out of the Amazon.
