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 project, the mouth of the Amazon River could soon bleed black poison into the forests.

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

Environmental concerns have held off the project so far — but a massive global outcry is needed to show Lula that this next phase of oil drilling will destroy the Amazon – and his global legacy forever.

Together we can halt the so-called ‘Block 59’ and the oil auctions coming after it. The facts are on our side. And Lula is more vulnerable than ever.

Add your name now against new oil drillings in the Amazon — and we will deliver our message to President Lula before the poison spreads.
