I hope while you hear me speak, I won't make you terrified – maybe a little – but I’ll also inspire you to join us, and to join indigenous peoples in resistance ... for the existence and survival of all of us.

Unprecedented fires, deliberately set to expand industrial agriculture and other extractive development, are burning across the Amazon, a dangerous escalation of the global climate emergency.

Scientists warn that the Amazon is reaching "the tipping point" of ecological collapse, but indigenous movements across the region are resisting and calling for international solidarity to help them defend their rights and territories.

For thousands of years, indigenous peoples have protected their sacred ancestral territories. We all must stand with them to protect and restore the bio-cultural integrity of the Amazon, because our collective future depends on it.
