I'm at the world's largest conservation summit, fighting for Indigenous rights

I’m writing to you as the leader of more than 500 Indigenous nations across the

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:

Dear
Avaaz community, |
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: |

My
people have defended the Amazon for generations.
But it's not just the Amazon --
Indigenous communities are responsible
for protecting 80% of the world's
biodiversity. Without our wisdom, our
customary practices and our dedication to Mother
nature, life on Earth is at greater risk -- day
and night, we are risking our lives to defend
what's left of nature.
That's why
I refuse to go back to my home with empty
promises from our
governments.
This is a chance
for us to create a beautiful, new relationship
with nature, honouring the great web of life, on
which we are all entirely dependent. Humanity is
driving the next mass extinction, which means we
can stop it -- if we all act
together.
This is the first time we,
Indigenous people, have a voice and a vote at
the IUCN Congress -- and I will fight
tooth and nail to ensure our leaders hear the
people and the planet speaking through
them.
Click to join, and help us
reach 3 million people backing the call to save
nature, while we still can:

We,
the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, have a
long history with Avaaz. This community has been
instrumental in our fight to protect the world's
biggest rainforest, home to more than 500
Indigenous nations. We are stronger together,
hand in hand, and now we have a unique chance to
deliver a joint message in the corridors of
power. Join now.
With hope and
determination,
Gregorio Mirabal, General
Coordinator of the COICA (Coordinator of
Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon River
Basin), together with Avaaz |
