Rights for Stingless Bees

For millennia, Amazonian stingless bees have buzzed through the trees, pollinating 80% of the rainforest.

They make the miracle of the Amazon possible, but their hum is falling silent, their habitats lost and poisoned by pesticides.

Now Peru could make history by granting these amazing bees — and nature itself — fundamental legal rights to exist and flourish. It would protect both the bees and their habitats!

The revolution has already begun. One province has just passed this groundbreaking law, more could follow, and now, from deep in the forest, Indigenous leaders are rising to take it to Peru’s Congress. Let’s rise with them!

When enough of us sign, Indigenous allies will deliver our voices direct to Peru’s lawmakers — add your name to demand rights for the Amazon’s bees!
