Extinction
is knocking at humanity's door. But there is one
brave group who have given their lives, year
after year, to save us all. And they need our
help on the brink of a summit that could decide
the future of the Amazon and the balance of life
on Earth. Sign in defense of the forest and
share it with everyone you know.

Dear
friends, |
|
Extinction
is knocking at humanity's door. We are
one or two events away from a tipping point that
could leave us without water, without oxygen,
without food, without safety.
But
there is a brave group who have given their
lives, year after year, to save us all.
We owe them our existence: the
Indigenous peoples who have preserved
80% of the planet's biodiversity while the rest
of us did our best to destroy
it.
Now, they’re asking us for
support at a defining moment for our
planet.
In three weeks, the
governments of all the countries of the Amazon
basin will meet to decide the future of the
forest -- and Indigenous peoples are fighting
once again to protect the rainforest and save us
from a disastrous tipping point that
would turn it to
desert.
Loggers,
miners and industrial ranchers go into overdrive
to keep the Amazon open for
destruction - so our call needs to
be even stronger! Sign now and we’ll join our
voices with the heroic defenders of life and
hand-deliver this petition to decision-makers at
the summit:

Indigenous
people have always been right. Their
existence in harmony with nature shows us that
this is how we should have always lived! Because
we didn't listen to them before, we are now on
the brink of an existential crisis.
But
there’s still time to join them in protecting
the delicate balance of life on Earth. Avaaz is
reaching out to governments and Indigenous
communities in the region to make this summit a
watershed moment.
Every
voice counts.
Sign to pressure
leaders to recognize the region's Indigenous
lands and protect 80% of the forest.
Let's join our voices with those of all
citizens around the world who have already
mobilized in defense of the forest in a
mega-petition of over 8 million
signatures. It will be impossible for
leaders to ignore our call! |

For
decades, humanity has been creating fanciful
narratives in books and movies about our fear of
extinction. Now, the apocalypse is knocking, but
we are presented with the heroes who can lead
us. Each of us is given the chance to join them
in the epic battle against the point of no
return - only then will our species remain
worthy of existence on this beautiful
planet.
With the hope of making life our
great hero's journey,
Nana, Diego,
Liliana, Laura, Oscar, Nell and the entire Avaaz
team |
