As we enter this exciting New Year, we’re so grateful for your continued support! Thanks to partnerships with so many of you across every continent the global movement to protect the Amazon is thriving and growing. Thank YOU!

Every donation you made is a powerful statement about who you are and what you stand for. You believe in justice. You support indigenous rights. You work to defend the Amazon and to protect our global climate. Thank YOU!

Thanks to this growing support Amazon Watch continues to meet and surpass our online fundraising goals and 2014 was wildly successful. You shared our stories, promoted our work and inspired others with your support. Thank YOU!

2015 is going to be a tough one:

  • Investments from China in Ecuador are increasing pressure to expand oil drilling into the most ecologically sensitive parts of the Amazon
  • The newly re-elected president of Brazil has made terrible choices already by naming the “Chainsaw Queen” as Minister of the Environment and a climate change denier as Minister of Science & Technology
  • Five separate oil spills still plague the Marañon River in Peru, a country who continues to chop up its Amazon into oil concessions

We know we have a lot of work ahead of us, and we can’t thank you enough for helping us ramp up capacity to take on these challenges. If you haven’t yet made an investment in the future of the Amazon or you are able to make another, the time is now. What better way to start the new year than to invest in a greener, healthier and more just planet?

Join Amazon Watch as we work together to defend the rainforest and advance the rights of its indigenous guardians in 2015!

Your partnership truly means the world to us. Thank YOU!

For the Amazon,
– The team at Amazon Watch
