John,

The Brazilian government has approved a railway that will tear apart 933km
of Amazon forest and decimate swathes of Indigenous lands.

The "Ferrogrão" project is being rushed through by Bolsonaro’s government,
with heavy backing from agribusiness giants like Bunge, ADM and Cargill -
who stand to increase their profits in the area.

Any moment now, the erasure of ancient trees and Indigenous communities'
livelihoods could begin – but we can still stop this horror.

Indigenous leaders are urgently asking for OUR support – if people across
the world show we're watching, we can ramp up the pressure on
decision-makers in Brazil and abroad to halt this atrocity.

Let's show greedy companies and politicians that this global community is
against the Deadly Railway.

The area of Amazon rainforest designated for this project is globally
renowned for its unique and rich biodiversity. But this abundance also
attracts multibillion-dollar companies and greedy politicians, who use
shady methods to approve murderous projects like Ferrogrão.

All in the name of "progress".

The situation is extremely serious. Experts confirmed that if this railway
gets built, the damage will be irreversible.

As a young Indigenous man from the Munduruku nation said: "We perceive
these projects as a death sentence by the Government [to our people]."

We can't stand back and watch this happen – your support can help to save
lives and one of the most important regions of the Amazon. All it takes is
one signature. Sign now and share everywhere:

This community united several times before when our Indigenous brothers

now.
