The Brazilian government has approved a railway that will
tear apart 933km of Amazon forest and decimate swathes of Indigenous
lands.
The "Ferrogrão" project is being rushed through by Bolsonaro’s
government, with heavy backing from agribusiness giants like
Bunge, ADM and Cargill - who stand to increase their profits in the
area.
Any moment now, the erasure of ancient trees and Indigenous
communities' livelihoods could begin – but we can still stop
this horror.
Indigenous leaders are urgently asking for OUR
support – if people across the world show we're watching,
we can ramp up the pressure on decision-makers in Brazil and abroad
to halt this atrocity.
Let's show greedy companies and politicians that this
global community is against the Deadly Railway.
I
support the immediate END of Ferrogrão project!
The area of Amazon rainforest designated for this project is
globally renowned for its unique and rich biodiversity. But this
abundance also attracts multibillion-dollar companies and greedy
politicians, who use shady methods to approve murderous projects
like Ferrogrão.
All in the name of "progress".
The situation is extremely serious. Experts confirmed that if
this railway gets built, the damage will be
irreversible.
As a young Indigenous man from the Munduruku nation said: "We
perceive these projects as a death sentence by the Government [to
our people]."
We can't stand back and watch this happen –
your support can help to save lives and one
of the most important regions of the Amazon. All it takes is one
signature. Sign now and share everywhere:
I
support the immediate END of Ferrogrão project!
This community united several times before when our Indigenous
brothers and sisters asked for our support, and we made a
difference. We can't stop now.
