Help Indigenous Peoples Reclaim the Amazon!

A devastating new bill could soon be signed into law, giving loggers, miners, and industrial farms the green light for destruction. They could eat the Amazon alive.
Avaaz is speaking to dozens of Indigenous communities across the rainforest. Their rights and their ability to defend the forest could be crushed by this new law -- they're 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 fundraiser will help Indigenous communities resist and fight back for the Amazon.
Your support will enable communities to buy land and finally secure legal titles, giving them the power to stop the bulldozers and chainsaws. We'd also fuel legal battles and protests to halt the invasions, logging, and mining in their tracks.
But we won't just defend the Amazon, we'll support families to regenerate the rainforest, too -- replanting thousands and thousands of native trees and breathing new life into ancient forest gardens.
The Amazon rainforest is the richest, most colourful display of life on Earth, from two-toed sloths to pink river 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've protected it for centuries.
Let's help Indigenous communities stand firm and defend the Amazon rainforest. Please donate what you can now.
