In solidarity with Amazonian Earth Defenders, generous donors are matching all donations up to $225,000 through December 31, and we’re almost halfway to our goal! Will you uplift Indigenous land rights and solutions with a gift today?

Your donation today empowers Indigenous self-determination and rights across the Amazon basin. Today, I’d like to share with you how you are defending the rights and lands of the Siona Indigenous people in the Colombian Amazon.

100% of your gift today will go to our program work!

The Siona of Buenavista are a beacon of resistance against oil extraction and narcotrafficking in their territories, and as a result they face threats and violence. In the face of these dangers, international solidarity is crucial to their safety and success.

Thanks to your generous support, Amazon Watch accompanies the Siona through strategic campaigns and advocacy, and by bringing their messages to international media platforms. We also supported the construction of a central meeting space and ceremonial house for the Siona through direct solidarity grants.

Your donations make this solidarity possible. Thank you for amplifying the rights, resistance, and solutions of the Siona and Indigenous peoples throughout the Amazon basin!

For the Amazon,

Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director

P.S. Will your employer double your donation again? Many employers match employee gifts, and the email receipt you receive from us is often all the documentation you need! Our team is here to support you.
