Earth Defenders in the Colombian Amazon need your solidarity.

In the Colombian Amazon, drug traffickers and oil companies are invading, controlling, and exploiting Indigenous lands and targeting Earth Defenders who are on the front lines of resisting ecosystem destruction and land grabs.

Together, we can help ensure their safety and security and amplify their rights and calls for justice. Will you support Earth Defenders in Colombia with a donation today? In light of the severity of these events, multiple generous donors have committed to matching your gift up to $20,000 through World Environmental Day on June 5.

Amazon Watch has worked with Colombia’s U’wa people for 25 years, and now we must deepen our initiatives in the Colombian Amazon. We are committed to amplifying the crucial struggles of Earth Defenders across the region for years to come.

Your gift to Amazon Watch recognizes and supports the power of collectives like the Amazon Pearl, composed of Colombian campesino communities defending themselves against predatory economic interests like oil companies.

Your donation today will be matched, sending a strong message of solidarity with Indigenous peoples and the Earth!

For the Amazon and all her Defenders,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director
