You

Guajajara was fighting for all of us

ancestral land.
Paulo isn't alone:
every two days, another brave earth
defender is murdered. It’s an Indigenous
emergency!

Half
the Earth's forests are now gone. 15
BILLION trees are chopped down every year,
decimating our planet's rainforests, jungles,
and mangroves. This environmental devastation is
intimately tied to the theft and destruction of
ancient indigenous lands, and the horrific
violence that comes with
it.
Defending the rights of
indigenous communities is a must for a global
community like ours -- but is also
central to stopping ecological annihilation.
Study after study has shown that their cultures
and practices are most effective at protecting
these precious, life-giving ecosystems.
Combined, their ancestral lands are home to 80%
of earth's biodiversity -- and they defend it
with their lives.
But if this new global
biodiversity agreement comes to life, indigenous
communities could have their land ownership
formally recognised, giving them powerful legal
protections and international backing. Let's
make sure it happens!
Add your
name now -- Avaaz will deliver our voices inside
the negotiations, standing with
indigenous leaders from around the world:

Standing
with indigenous communities is in the Avaaz DNA.
From funding life-saving Covid equipment for
people of the Amazon rainforest, to supporting
the Maasai in Kenya, and helping indigenous
leaders win huge legal battles in court, our
movement has shown up time and again. This is a
golden opportunity to continue that tradition,
helping to win this battle for the planet, and
all the brave women and men defending it for
future generations.
With fierce hope and
determination,
Diego, Oscar, Mike, Marie,
Laura, Luis, Anneke, Nell and the rest of the
Avaaz team |
