It's been a historic year for Indigenous land rights in Brazil.
Thanks to the leadership of Indigenous peoples, the government
officially recognized over two million acres of ancestral Indigenous
territories !
Attempts
to roll back Indigenous rights and open the rainforest to destruction
are being overwhelmed by the power of the Indigenous movement and allies
like you. We have the momentum. This is the moment to secure Indigenous land rights and protect the Amazon !
Amazon Watch is working with Indigenous partners to achieve official recognition of several more ancestral territories
– partners like the Munduruku of Brazil whose territory Sawré Muybu is
now in the final stages and awaiting executive signature !
Your gift today supports Earth Defenders
monitoring their lands and waters, marking territorial boundaries, and
advocating for Indigenous peoples' rights in their ancestral
territories. This is how we protect the Amazon.
Research shows that honoring Indigenous land rights is the best way to defend the rainforest and all of its biodiversity. Thank you for your gift in solidarity with Indigenous Earth Defenders. Onward !
For the Amazon and its defenders,
Leila Salazar-López
Executive Director.
