Fires are being intentionally ignited across the Amazon—and it’s putting our very survival at stake.
The Amazon produces a fifth of the oxygen produced by Earth’s plants and trees. It’s the ancestral home to millions of Indigenous people. And it’s the habitat of rare animals like jaguars and sloths.
Backed by the pro-corporate Brazilian president, illegal loggers are burning the Amazon to clear land for cheap beef, soy, and timber.
And the EU is about to make things worse by closing in on a deal to import more products grown from Amazon’s ashes. But you have a chance to stop this.
Ireland and France have threatened to veto the deal—now we need to force other leaders to follow suit fast. With your donation today, we can commission public polling and targeted advertising so they can’t miss our message.
Can you chip in to protect the Amazon from more raging fires?
