Once upon a time, life almost ended on Earth.

The 'Great Dying' was the largest mass-extinction in history -- caused by temperatures rising so fast, it wiped out 90% of all life.

But today the Earth is heating even faster, and we're losing species at a much higher rate. If we don't change course, scientists warn that total ecosystem collapse is "inevitable".

Our very survival is on the line -- but it's not too late! The months ahead are packed with golden opportunities to create a turning point for life on earth.

From pivotal UN meetings, to world-shaping elections, Avaaz campaigners have now mapped the moments when we can have maximum impact this year. Together we'll mobilise millions to block fossil fuels, defend the Amazon, fight historic legal battles -- and pressure our leaders every step of the way.

We are absolutely committed to halting the destruction of our beautiful planet. But we need you with us.

Everything Avaaz does is 100% funded by people like you. We've had incredible impact together -- but now we have to do more. If 10,000 of us make a small weekly donation, we can grow our movement into a thundering force for change. We simply have to.

Because Earth can't wait anymore. For the climate, for nature, and for everyone you love, join our massive uprising to defend life on earth. Donate what you can now!
