SIGN: Protect the mangroves and tropical forests of Brazil’s
Tauá-Mirim!
Dear friends of the rainforests,
Brazil’s Tauá-Mirim region, home to
2,200 families who rely on fishing and farming, is under threat from
infrastructure and industrial projects. The region’s mangroves
are vital: they serve as breeding grounds for marine life and act as
a carbon sink, helping to stabilize the climate.
Since 2003, local communities have
called for the area to be designated a Reserva Extrativista (RESEX),
a type of protected area that ensures both conservation and
traditional rights. However, the government has delayed action,
playing into the hands of destructive “developers” in the
meantime.
We urge President Lula da Silva,
Minister Marina Silva, and other leaders to act now. Please
support our petition to protect Tauá-Mirim and its people by signing
today.
