To President Lula, :

We, citizens of the world representing this generation and the next ones, urge you to act to stop any attempt to explore oil in the Amazon region. This ecosystem is way too precious to be tampered with. The Amazon is a gift to humanity and Brazil was given the gift of stewarding it into a clean future. Stand up to this task.

Amazon bleeding oil
If we don't act now, the very heart of the Amazon will start bleeding oil into its waters, impacting the richest biome on Earth and throwing off the balance of the climate in the whole world.

But this is a message of hope, not of despair.

Magda Chambriard just took office as the head of Petrobras, Brazil’s biggest oil exploration company – which is also a major global player. And Magda’s first priority? Explore oil in the mouth of the Amazon River! She is now even pushing for President Lula to intervene and make the environment agency allow it.

Let’s make sure our pressure to protect the Amazon is stronger than hers to exploit it. Lula cares deeply about his image - both at home and abroad, and protecting the Amazon has long been a key priority for Brazilians. We can win this fight – if he feels enough of us around the world are watching. Sign now and let's make history as the people that protected the Amazon at this crucial moment in the human journey:
