The Amazon is speeding toward a point of no return — scientists say if 20% of the forest is lost, it will set off a domino chain that will cause the whole ecosystem to collapse.
18% of the forest is now gone. Local communities are crying out after 3 years of drought. We should be in red alert.
Yet the worst offenders behind the climate forces destroying the Amazon – a rotten, predatory financial industry that has poured an astounding $4.6 trillion into fossil fuels in the last few years alone – are flying completely under the radar. Their profits are even soaring!
We’re going to change that. We have a crack team ready to hit the ground running – to expose the big banks’ responsibility for this Amazon emergency, then run massive campaigns in the media and with shareholders to force them to change. We’ll shine the spotlight on them like never before.
It could be a turning point for the planet. Can you chip in to hold these Amazon-destroying climate criminals to account?
