             Dear friends,

                  It's horrifying -- in the past year, an area the size of 
500,000 soccer fields has been destroyed in the Amazon! Nearly half a 
BILLION trees torn down and gone... forever.

                  This is how they do it: armed militia swarm into protected 
areas, and indigenous leaders who stand up to them are murdered. There’s 
even stories of planes dropping gasoline to start massive forest fires. And 
Brazil's far-right President Bolsonaro is making it even worse by stripping 
the Amazon of its remaining protections!

                  Right now, Amazon champions in Brazil’s Congress are 
considering sweeping new protections for the precious rainforest. And 
indigenous groups are calling for international support to ramp up pressure 
to defend their home.

                  Let’s build a massive call of citizens from around the 
world to protect the forest -- when it's huge, allies will deliver our 
voices to Congress in each key moment to silence the chainsaws and stop this 
Amazon apocalypse!

                  Bolsonaro has praised forest killers, blocked money for 
key conservation programs and threatened to evict entire indigenous 
communities from their lands. And if we don’t stop it, it’s not just the 
forest we’ll lose. It could be everything. The Amazon breathes in and stores 
massive amounts of carbon -- and without it, there’s no chance of stopping 
the climate crisis.

                  Members of the Brazilian Congress are about to introduce 
proposals that could bring illegal deforestation in Brazil to ZERO, and key 
indigenous leaders are calling on the world to support the defence of the 
forest. We can help them!

                  The Amazon needs us right now. Add your name, and share 
widely to end the Amazon apocalypse before it’s too late. Once enough of us 
sign, we'll throw everything at saving the forest -- demonstrating of huge 
public support, polling, hard-hitting ads, and pressure on key governments 
around the world to break their silence:

                  Just years ago, when Brazil wanted to put a chunk of the 
Amazon the size of Denmark up for sale, 1.9 million Avaazers worldwide stood 
up for it and WE WON! Now the threat is even bigger... So we need to fight 
harder, smarter and stronger than ever for the Amazon!

                  With hope and determination,
