To President Lula and all Brazilian officials:

The future of humanity and the health of our planet are at stake: everyone, everywhere needs you to do everything in your power to preserve the Amazon and all Brazil’s ecosystems. We call on you to:
  • Veto the ‘devastation bill’ and any other anti-environmental legislation passed by Congress;
  • Protect Indigenous Peoples and safeguard their rights to their lands; and,
  • Hold private companies accountable for illegal encroachment on protected lands.

 Brazil: Stop the 'devastation bill'
Brazil’s Congress jus passed the most destructive anti-environmental bill in Brazilian history.

3,000 territories – including more than one third of all Indigenous lands – are losing the legal protections that have fended off full-scale exploitation for decades.

It's open season on the Amazon, and the Minister of the Environment herself said it’s a 'death blow' to Brazil’s climate ambitions.

But President Lula can veto this 'devastation bill'. He is working to make Brazil a global leader, which means his international image matters – he will listen to our voices.

He only has a few days to act.

If he won´t use his power, we lose one of the last remaining restraints on the full-scale destruction of the Amazon. Lula once committed to being a climate champion. A global outcry now can give him the backing he needs to stand up to Congress – and finally, truly become that champion.

Sign now, and we will deliver our collective call directly to Lula’s team!
