To President Lula and the Brazilian government:

As global citizens, we urge you to immediately stop all new oil projects affecting the Amazon, halt any approvals that are in process, and lead the way towards a global phase-out of fossil fuels with science-based deadlines. Brazil must protect the Amazon and commit to a fossil-free future — before it’s too late.

Lula: Don’t poison the Amazon!

The Amazon could be poisoned to death. If we don’t stop the next oil drilling projects, the mouth of the Amazon River could soon bleed black poison.

Brazil’s government knows the risks, which is why it is split. But President Lula insists on opening 47 new oil drilling sites where the Amazon River meets the ocean – threatening the survival of the world's most massive river, the beating artery of this lush rainforest.

Environmental concerns have held off one major project so far, but Lula is about to open much of the region to Big Oil. A massive global outcry is needed to show Lula that this could destroy the Amazon – and his legacy – forever.

Together we can still stop this new phase of massive oil drilling. The facts are on our side. And experts say Lula is more vulnerable than ever. Add your name now and we will deliver our message to President Lula before the poison spreads.
