Brazil is declaring war on the Amazon rainforest.

If it passes the final hurdle, a devastating new law will hand loggers, miners, and industrial farms near‑total freedom to rip through the forest, eating the Amazon alive.

Avaaz has now spoken to Indigenous communities across the rainforest, and they're terrified. Their rights and their ability to defend Earth's most precious rainforest would be crushed under this new law.

So together we're launching a bold plan to build the barricades, reclaiming the rainforest and helping Indigenous communities to resist deadly attacks. Because the Amazon isn't just their home -- it's part of who they are. The forest is family, and they are intricately woven into the rivers, the birdsong, and the canopy above.

This is a fundraiser to help Indigenous communities resist and fight back.

With our support, Indigenous leaders will secure legal titles to their territories, giving them the power to stop the bulldozers. We could also fuel legal battles and protests to halt the invasions, logging, and mining in their tracks.

But we wouldn't just defend, we'd also help families to regenerate the forest -- replanting thousands and thousands of native trees and restoring ancient forest gardens to bring devastated areas back to life.

The Amazon rainforest is the richest, most colourful display of life on Earth, from two-toed sloths to pink dolphins and translucent tree frogs. But it is being strangled. And while we can't all block the bulldozers or tie ourselves to the trees, we can support the guardians who have protected it for centuries.

Let's give Indigenous communities the tools to stand firm and go on defending the Amazon rainforest. Please donate what you can now.
