Petition
Do
not sell out Liberia's forests for Dubai's climate excesses!
Dear friends of the rainforests,
The Liberian government is about to sign
over one million hectares of forest to Dubai-based Blue Carbon. The
company wants to sell carbon credits to offset climate-damaging
emissions by supposedly protecting rainforests in West Africa.
This deal is shameless neocolonialism:
It would put nearly ten percent of Liberia's land area under foreign
control, violating the rights of forest communities while benefiting
neither the forests nor the climate.
To protect the climate, we must make
fossil fuels history. Greenwashing projects by wealthy petro-states
seeking to delay the end of fossil fuels have no place here.
Please support Liberia's
environmentalists by signing our petition to the German government
and others.

Thanks for being
involved,

Putting
their lives on the line: Indigenous people and environmentalists
face threats
Our consumption of agricultural
commodities, metals, minerals and timber is taking a heavy toll on
people in the global South: In 2022, at least 177 activists were
killed for defending their land rights and protecting nature. More
than a third of the victims were Indigenous people, including our
partner Sarapo Kaapor in Brazil.
The British-American NGO Global
Witness has just published its annual report, "Standing Firm", on
the threats faced by Indigenous peoples, environmentalists and human
rights defenders worldwide.

Your
donation for the rainforest
The Congo Basin is home to the second
largest rainforest in the world – habitat of gorillas, chimpanzees
and forest elephants. Lush forests with breathtaking biodiversity
can also be found in West Africa and on Madagascar.
Our African partners are courageous
activists who are fighting the good fight in often dangerous
environments. They need your support to continue their vital
work.
