At the heart of the great riot of life that is the Ecuadorian Amazon, a black plague spreads, choking the rivers, poisoning the children, silencing the birds.

Oil.

Hundreds of oil spills in the last decade, pouring from drilling sites into the crystal headwaters of the Amazon basin. More plants, insects, and animals live here than anywhere else on Earth, alongside Indigenous communities who've called it home for millennia.

They are ALL in danger.

But the Indigenous peoples here are fighting back. In one part of the forest, they've declared a huge territory to ban oil and mining, once and for all. In another, they've taken Ecuador's government to court -- and won!

Now a knife-edge referendum will decide whether oil drills invade one of the most beautiful, and fragile, parts of the rainforest.

We can help stop them. If each of us donates just a little, we can supercharge this fight for the Amazon, putting pre-referendum campaigning into overdrive. We'll mobilise every last vote to save the forest -- all while funding visionary, Indigenous-led projects to ban oil drilling. And we'll accelerate Avaaz campaigns, from Peru to Brazil, to Colombia, facing down new threats to the forest.

Donate what you can now -- we only have 60 days until the referendum that could save the rainforest from Big Oil!
