The Amazon rainforest is fighting to survive.

From far above, it looks beautiful, a green ocean pulsing with life. But fly lower, and you see the wounds: rivers the colour of rust, smoke curling from freshly cut clearings.

Across the Amazon, Indigenous leaders have told us that where their ancestors once walked the forest paths, now they're patrolling day and night. Protecting the forest is a full time job -- and a deadly one.

But now these communities have a chance to protect the forest for good -- and they're asking for help.

It all comes down to land rights. Where the territories of Indigenous communities are legally recognised, deforestation has dropped by up to 83%. But without land rights, communities are vulnerable, their lands get invaded, and more and more of the rainforest is destroyed.

Right now, Brazil's President is considering a set of major decrees that would give communities the rights to thousands of acres! And with elections coming, Indigenous leaders know there won't be another chance like this. That's why they've come to us to help make this big -- in the courts, in Congress, and on the streets.

Together, we can immediately power an unstoppable Indigenous-led campaign to protect some of the most biodiverse lands on the planet -- funding legal advocacy and media takeovers, creating relentless public pressure until President Lula signs.

This is an urgent fundraiser to protect the most important rainforest in the world. Please donate what you can now.
