*[Enwl-eng] Urgent: Extinction Alert

[ENWL]

I am writing to you personally as the leader of more than 500 Indigenous 
nations. I'm at the world's largest conservation summit, fighting for 
Indigenous rights and the goal of protecting half the planet, including 80% 
of the Amazon. But ambition is being throttled by politics, and we’re only a 
handful of indigenous leaders here, but if millions of citizens back our 
call, we can wake them up! I will personally deliver our voices to all 
Members of the IUCN, calling on them to protect our homelands and at least 
half the planet to ensure life on Earth thrives. Click to join and tell 
everyone! Dear Avaaz community, I’m writing to you as the leader of more 
than 500 Indigenous nations across the Amazon to ask for your support.Days 
ago, I left my home, my family, and my mother, the Amazon rainforest, to 
attend the world’s biggest conservation summit and deliver an urgent call to 
protect at least half the planet, including 80% of the Amazon.We MUST 
protect the forests, rivers, and oceans that sustain us all, from the Amazon 
to Africa and Indonesia. Our survival depends on it. But too many of our 
leaders are still blinded by short-term political compromises -- refusing to 
stop our forests from burning, our rivers from dying, and thousands and 
thousands of species going extinct.So we’re taking a stand. We’re only a 
handful of indigenous leaders here, but if millions across the world back 
us, we can wake them up!So join me now, and I will use my speech to 
governments to deliver our voices in the heart of the negotiations, urging 
them to protect our homelands and at least half the Earth -- before it's too 
late:

                                Dear Avaaz community,
                                I’m writing to you as the leader of more 
than 500 Indigenous nations across the Amazon to ask for your support.

                                Days ago, I left my home, my family, and my 
mother, the Amazon rainforest, to attend the world’s biggest conservation 
summit and deliver an urgent call to protect at least half the planet, 
including 80% of the Amazon.

                                We MUST protect the forests, rivers, and 
oceans that sustain us all, from the Amazon to Africa and Indonesia. Our 
survival depends on it.

                                But too many of our leaders are still 
blinded by short-term political compromises -- refusing to stop our forests 
from burning, our rivers from dying, and thousands and thousands of species 
going extinct.

                                So we’re taking a stand. We’re only a 
handful of indigenous leaders here, but if millions across the world back 
us, we can wake them up!

                                So join me now, and I will use my speech to 
governments to deliver our voices in the heart of the negotiations, urging 
them to protect our homelands and at least half the Earth -- before it's too

                                My people have defended the Amazon for 
generations. But it's not just the Amazon -- Indigenous communities are 
responsible for protecting 80% of the world's biodiversity. Without our 
wisdom, our customary practices and our dedication to Mother nature, life on 
Earth is at greater risk -- day and night, we are risking our lives to 
defend what's left of nature.

                                That's why I refuse to go back to my home 
with empty promises from our governments.

                                This is a chance for us to create a 
beautiful, new relationship with nature, honouring the great web of life, on 
which we are all entirely dependent. Humanity is driving the next mass 
extinction, which means we can stop it -- if we all act together.

                                This is the first time we, Indigenous 
people, have a voice and a vote at the IUCN Congress -- and I will fight 
tooth and nail to ensure our leaders hear the people and the planet speaking 
through them.

people backing the call to save nature, while we still can:

                                We, the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, 
have a long history with Avaaz. This community has been instrumental in our 
fight to protect the world's biggest rainforest, home to more than 500 
Indigenous nations. We are stronger together, hand in hand, and now we have 
a unique chance to deliver a joint message in the corridors of power. Join 
now.

                                With hope and determination,
