Help Indigenous Peoples Reclaim the Amazon!

If it passes the final hurdle, a devastating new law will hand loggers, miners, and industrial farms the greenlight for destruction. They could eat the Amazon alive.
Avaaz has now spoken to dozens of Indigenous communities across the rainforest. Their rights and their ability to defend the Amazon are being crushed under this new law -- they are furious and more determined than ever to fight back!
So together we're launching a bold plan to help Indigenous communities reclaim their territories and regenerate vast areas of rainforest. Because the Amazon isn't just their home: the forest is family, and they are intricately woven into the rivers, birdsong, and the canopy above.
This is a fundraiser to help Indigenous communities resist and fight back for the Amazon.
Your support will enable community leaders to buy lands and secure legal titles to their territories, giving them the power to stop the bulldozers. We'd fuel legal battles and protests to halt the invasions, logging, and mining in their tracks.
But we won't just defend, we'd also be helping 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 help Indigenous communities stand firm and defend the Amazon rainforest. Please donate what you can now.
