Last week, 7,000 Indigenous people gathered at the Free Land Camp (ATL) to celebrate “Indigenous April” and launch several actions to secure land demarcations and Indigenize politics in Brazil. With the Amazon at a tipping point, this Earth Day we must take direction from Indigenous peoples to meet the urgency of the climate crises and threats facing the rainforest.

Will you join us in sustaining this movement to permanently protect the Amazon by making a donation today? All donations made through April 30 will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 by Make it Better Foundation, doubling your impact for the Amazon!

Amazon Watch supported Indigenous delegations’ travel to and participation in ATL and amplified their calls to protect their territories and recognize their rights throughout the event. Your support will build on this momentum and ensure that we can continue to resist threats to the Amazon and Earth Defenders.

Join us in celebrating Earth Day in action by recognizing Indigenous rights and leadership and amplifying Indigenous calls to permanently protect the Amazon.

For the Amazon and all her Defenders,
