Let's win a real plan to save life on earth --
this week!
To world leaders:
We global citizens are deeply concerned by scientists warning that ecosystems critical to sustaining life on Earth could collapse in our lifetimes. We call on you to meet existing targets to protect biodiversity, forge a new agreement so that at least 50% of our lands and oceans are protected and restored, and ensure our planet is completely sustainably managed. This must take into consideration the needs of human development, and have the active support of indigenous peoples. This long-term goal for nature can restore harmony with our home.

To world leaders:
My name is Gregorio Mirabal from the Wakuenai Kurripako people in Venezuela.
I’m writing to you as the leader of more than 500 Indigenous nations across the Amazon to ask for your support.
Days ago, I left my home, my family, and my mother, the Amazon rainforest, to attend the world’s biggest conservation summit and deliver an urgent call to protect at least half the planet, including 80% of the Amazon.
We MUST protect the forests, rivers, and oceans that sustain us all, from the Amazon to Africa and Indonesia. Our survival depends on it.
But too many of our leaders are still blinded by short-term political compromises -- refusing to stop our forests from burning, our rivers from dying, and thousands and thousands of species going extinct.
So we’re taking a stand. We’re only a handful of indigenous leaders here, but if millions across the world back us, we can wake them up!
So join me now, and I will use my speech to governments to deliver our voices in the heart of the negotiations, urging them to protect our homelands and at least half the Earth -- before it's too late.
