The Amazon is going through hell -- by the end of today, an area the size of 
3,000 football pitches will be chopped down!





                                Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro is a 
one-man environmental disaster, driving Amazon destruction up by 20% in a 
year, and leaving Indigenous people facing brutal violence! But there's a 
way to hold him to account. The International Criminal Court could prosecute 
him -- but only if the Prosecutor opens a case! Join the urgent call to 
protect the forest and its people now -- when it's huge our voices will be 
delivered straight to the ICC!

                                Dear friends,
                                Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro is a 
one-man environmental disaster.

                                He's greenlighted illegal mining and logging 
in Indigenous lands, sabotaged environmental laws, and now the destruction 
of the Amazon has risen by more than 20% in a year -- a loss equivalent to 
3,000 football fields per day!

                                He thinks he can get away with it -- but 
there’s a way to hold him to account. A group of brave lawyers is pushing 
for the International Criminal Court to prosecute Bolsonaro for his alleged 
attacks on the Amazon and its defenders. And whether or not it happens will 
come down to a decision by ICC Prosecutor, Karim Khan.

                                He has a reputation for being tough in his 
pursuit of justice, but dragging Bolsonaro to court would need a new level 
of courage. So let’s build a massive global call from every corner of the 
Earth for him to act, and when this is huge, our voices will be delivered 
directly to the Prosecutor’s office.

                                Deforestation was decreasing before 
Bolsonaro came to power, but under his presidency, it surged to its worst in 
15 years. He’s used his presidency to encourage loggers, farmers, and 
criminal gangs to clear the land, and indigenous people have faced violence 
so brutal they are calling it genocide.

                                This is a matter of survival for all of us. 
Fires, logging and climate change are pushing the Amazon to its breaking 
point -- some areas are already releasing more CO2 into the atmosphere than 
they can absorb. If nothing is done, scientists predict the rainforest’s 
ecosystem could collapse, with catastrophic consequences for the planet.

                                Crazily, there’s no international law 
against ecocide. But the ICC does protect against crimes against humanity --  
and this is bigger than Bolsonaro. If the Prosecutor opened an 
investigation, he would set a historic precedent, paving the way for ending 
impunity for environmental offenders on a global level. It could even move 
us closer to a new law against the destruction of nature!

                                Sign the petition now, calling on the 
Prosecutor to take all necessary steps to start an investigation into 
Bolsonaro -- and let’s be a voice for the forest, its people, and the future 
of every human on Earth.

                                Together, our movement has tirelessly fought 
climate change, helped win amazing victories to protect incredible marine 
reserves, and joined hands with Indigenous people from across the world to 
defend unique ecosystems. Now let’s bring together the power of the people 
and the power of the law to save one of the most important forests on Earth.

                                With hope and determination,
