Help us launch our newest campaign!
Watch and share a video by Pulitzer Prize-winning animator Mark Fiore and sign the petition to #EndAmazonCrude!Every day over 9 million gallons of Amazon crude are extracted from oil wells in the western Amazon rainforest, shipped to refineries in the U.S., and processed into fuel that ends up in vehicle fleets across the country.Drilling Amazon crude has a triple carbon impact: the burning of the oil, the emissions released when cutting down the rainforest, and the destruction of the world’s largest carbon sink. The Amazon regulates global weather, contains one-fifth of the world’s flowing fresh water, and produces one-fifth of our oxygen. It is also home to over 400 distinct indigenous peoples, some of whom could be wiped out by drilling in their territory. It must be protected.
Amazon crude is destroying the rainforest, devastating our climate, and it is deadly to indigenous peoples. Please sign the petition to help #EndAmazonCrude!
Lions are being ceaselessly being killed by poachers for their bones. For their pelts. For personal sport. We have a chance to stop all this. But we’re running out of time.
Sign your name to say that you want illegal lion poaching to end!
You can advance indigenous rights and protect the Amazon rainforest while winning a trip to Peru, Ecuador, or Paris!
At this year’s Gala, Amazon Watch is holding an incredible live auction with the kind of items that you won’t find anywhere else.
Here is a sneak peek:
Item #1: Trip to the Peruvian Amazon
Item #2: 1-Week Paris Getaway
Item #3: Amazon Watch Delegation to Ecuador
Item #4: 12-Day Plant Medicine Retreat in the Peruvian Amazon
We will also have some incredible art and handcrafts from the Amazon available earlier in the evening in a silent auction.
If you can’t be with us the night of the Gala, but want to bid on an item or experience, you can place a proxy bid. Email roberta@amazonwatch.org for more information.
And finally, if you haven’t gotten your ticket yet, please do so today! We are filling up quickly and will likely sell out.

This is Kathryn from Change.org.I love seeing people use Change.org to fight for issues like women’s rights and education.
One of my favorite petitions was started by Malala Yousafzai, which set out to help 62 million girls around the world get the education they deserve.
Through supporters like you, Malala’s petition received over one million signatures and achieved victory when the Global Partnership for Education said they would fund 12 years of education for girls globally.
But without supporters like you, Malala’s petition would not have won.
