Please join me in supporting the amazing hard working team at Amazon Watch and help us start 2024 in a strong position!  And get your donation matched doubling your impact.  

Friends and Lovers of Earth!

As members of Amazon Watch’s Board of Directors, we are committed to supporting a powerful team in our mission to defend the Amazon rainforest and our planet in solidarity with Indigenous peoples. 

Donate today and join us in protecting the biodiversity of our planet. , We invite you, our cherished friends, family, and allies, to help us meet our goal of raising $10,000 by December 31st! 

We are ALL connected to the Amazon rainforest. Indigenous peoples are on the front lines defending their ancestral territories and all of the life these sacred forests support. Making a year-end gift to Amazon Watch is a great way for all of us to take action in solidarity with Earth Defenders of the Amazon. Plus, all donations this month will be generously matched by fellow supporters of Amazon Watch, so your gift will be doubled!

This year, Amazon Watch and Indigenous partners across the Amazon Basin made real progress in securing Indigenous land rights, halting rainforest destruction, and growing the Indigenous-led movement to protect the rainforest:

••• Indigenous women gained more representation in leadership positions, from Indigenous organizations to national governments;
••• Ecuadorians voted to halt a major oil project in Yasuní National Park, one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, home to Indigenous peoples including those living in voluntary isolation;
••• and Brazil’s Indigenous movement secured the recognition of more than 800,000 hectares of Indigenous lands!

The urgency of the climate crisis is upon us, and the Amazon rainforest is on the brink of an ecological tipping point. As destructive industries seek to exploit the rainforest, Indigenous peoples are advancing true solutions to protect the Amazon. 

We all have a role to play in this movement, and today you can join us — let’s move to a turning point, together. Please give today.

Thank you!
For the Amazon,
Amazon Watch Board of Directors

Queridos amigos y familiares,

Como miembros de la Junta Directiva de Amazon Watch, estamos comprometidos con el apoyo a su increíble equipo en su misión de defender la selva amazónica y nuestro clima en solidaridad con los pueblos indígenas. En este espíritu, les invitamos, queridos amigos, familiares y aliados, a ayudarnos a alcanzar nuestra meta de recaudar $10,000 antes del 31 de diciembre.

Todos estamos conectados con la selva amazónica. Los pueblos indígenas están en la primera línea defendiendo sus territorios ancestrales y toda la vida que sostienen. Hacer una donación de fin de año a Amazon Watch es una excelente manera para todos nosotros de tomar acción en solidaridad con los Defensores de la Tierra de la Amazonía. 

Además, todas las donaciones de este mes serán generosamente igualadas por otros partidarios de Amazon Watch, ¡así que su donativo se duplicará!

Este año, Amazon Watch y socios indígenas en toda la Cuenca Amazónica lograron avances reales en la garantía de los derechos territoriales indígenas, deteniendo la destrucción de la selva y haciendo crecer el movimiento liderado por indígenas para proteger la selva:

••• Las mujeres indígenas lograron más representación en posiciones de liderazgo, desde organizaciones indígenas hasta gobiernos nacionales.
••• Los ecuatorianos votaron para detener un importante proyecto petrolero en el Parque Nacional Yasuní, uno de los lugares más biodiversos de la Tierra, hogar de pueblos indígenas, incluidos aquellos que viven en aislamiento voluntario.
••• ¡El movimiento indígena de Brasil logró el reconocimiento de más de 800,000 hectáreas de tierras indígenas!

La urgencia de la crisis climática está sobre nosotros y la selva amazónica está al borde de un punto de inflexión ecológico. Mientras las industrias destructivas buscan explotar la selva, los pueblos indígenas están avanzando con soluciones reales para proteger la Amazonía. Nuestra solidaridad colectiva marca una verdadera diferencia.

Cada uno de nosotros forma parte de la Junta Directiva de Amazon Watch con una profunda dedicación a la autodeterminación indígena y la justicia climática. Todos tenemos un papel que desempeñar en este movimiento y hoy puedes unirte a nosotros. Movámonos juntos hacia un punto de inflexión. 

¡Gracias!
Por la Amazonía,
Junta Directiva de Amazon Watch


Amazon Watch's Board of Directors End of Year Campaign

Protecting the Amazon rainforest and our climate in solidarity with Indigenous peoples

Since 1996, Amazon Watch has defended the Amazon rainforest and our climate in solidarity with Indigenous peoples. Long-term, trusted partnerships with Indigenous peoples — the best stewards of the rainforest — are the foundation for Amazon Watch’s campaigns for climate justice, corporate accountability, and the permanent protection of the rainforest.

The Amazon is home to more than 500 distinct Indigenous peoples. As our planet’s largest tropical rainforest, it stabilizes our global climate and an immense amount of Earth’s biodiversity and flowing freshwater can be found there.

This vital ecosystem and the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded it for centuries face grave threats from deforestation, resource extraction, land grabs, and destructive development projects. The Amazon is facing a tipping point and won't be able to sustain itself as a rainforest if we remain on our current path of destruction.

To move to a turning point, Amazon Watch is advancing the Indigenous-led proposal to permanently protect 80% of the Amazon by securing Indigenous rights to their ancestral territories, challenging the major drivers of rainforest destruction, and mobilizing solidarity funds directly to Indigenous Earth Defenders throughout the Amazon Basin. Their work combines on-the-ground legal, advocacy, and communications expertise and long-term trusted partnerships with Indigenous peoples and organizations.

🌳Amazon Watch’s Amazon Defenders Fund (ADF) provides direct solidarity funding to Amazonian peoples and organizations free of bureaucratic barriers. The ADF supports Indigenous-led initiatives including community organizing, women’s leadership, communal economies, protection of Earth Defenders at risk for resisting destructive development, and crisis response including to wildfires and oil spills. The ADF is built upon a multi-decade track record as a trusted partner among Indigenous nations. You can learn more at amazonwatch.org/get-involved/amazon-defenders-fund.
