Amazon bleeding oil

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
With one single strike, one woman can threaten the home of 1 in 10 known species on Earth. But we can stop her if we act fast!

This woman is Magda Chambriard, who just took office as the head of Brazil’s biggest oil exploration company with a mission: explore oil in the mouth of the Amazon River. The national environmental agency already said this project is not viable in such a fragile ecosystem, but she won't budge.

One oil spill in the Amazon River can destroy, in one blow, the main water source for 3 million species - some of which are on the brink of extinction, such as the jaguar. Poison 1.5 million indigenous people - including children - and break the fragile balance of the climate worldwide.

Our team of experts and activists in Brazil are ready to act - but the doors of power will only open to them if they are backed by the call of millions of people worldwide. Sign now and help us set in motion the biggest advocacy push to save the Amazon ever seen.
