Dear friends, My name is Gregorio, a leader of over 500 Indigenous
communities in the Amazon Rainforest. But today I write as a friend.Our
mother, the Amazon, is being eaten alive. Brazil's President Bolsonaro is
leading an army of loggers and miners, gorging on nature's destruction.
Without urgent action, the rainforest could die. But there's hope. In
weeks, world leaders will meet for final negotiations on a new global treaty
to save nature. We cannot allow Bolsonaro to be the voice of the Amazon at
these critical negotiations as ours are silenced and our people murdered.
Our children would never forgive us -- so I need your help.With your
support, a courageous delegation of Indigenous leaders could travel from the
last refuges of the natural world to the very heart of decision-making. Our
people have protected and respected nature for over 10,000 years -- we have
much to share with the world, so it’s critical we have a seat at the table
as the fate of the planet is decided.We'd meet world-leaders face to face,
confronting the lies, and helping to write bold international laws for a
treaty that can truly protect life on Earth. I promise you: we won't stop
pushing.Friends of the world, this is a chance to stand with us in our fight

Dear friends,
My name is Gregorio, a leader of over 500
Indigenous communities in the Amazon Rainforest. But today I write as a
friend.
Our mother, the Amazon, is being eaten
alive. Brazil's President Bolsonaro is leading an army of loggers and
miners, gorging on nature's destruction. Without urgent action, the
rainforest could die.
But there's hope.
In weeks, world leaders will meet for final
negotiations on a new global treaty to save nature. We cannot allow
Bolsonaro to be the voice of the Amazon at these critical negotiations as
ours are silenced and our people murdered. Our children would never forgive
us -- so I need your help.
With your support, a courageous delegation
of Indigenous leaders could travel from the last refuges of the natural
world to the very heart of decision-making. Our people have protected and
respected nature for over 10,000 years -- we have much to share with the
world, so it’s critical we have a seat at the table as the fate of the
planet is decided.
We'd meet world-leaders face to face,
confronting the lies, and helping to write bold international laws for a
treaty that can truly protect life on Earth. I promise you: we won't stop
pushing.
Friends of the world, this is a chance to
stand with us in our fight to protect life on our fragile planet. Donate now
to power our fight for survival:

OTHER AMOUNT
While so much of our planet has been scraped
and emptied, 91% of Indigenous lands are still healthy -- that's why loggers
and miners are targeting them today.
Where we see beauty and life, Bolsonaro and
like-minded leaders only see resources to be extracted and sold. They are
jeopardising the urgent global treaties we need to protect our home, and I
can see that time is running out.
And so, across the planet, a bold delegation
of Indigenous leaders is rising. Backed by a team of Avaaz campaigners and
media experts, we plan to flood two global summits -- pushing for a real
global treaty to save nature, and accelerating Avaaz campaigns to protect
the planet.
The Avaaz movement has empowered Indigenous
communities for years. Now we need your help again: we simply don't have the
resources on our own. Help us fight for the Amazon and all life on Earth --
donate what you can now:
I'LL DONATE €3
I'LL DONATE €5
I'LL DONATE €9
I'LL DONATE €17
I'LL DONATE €33
OTHER AMOUNT
Like our planet, humanity is fragile. We
depend on nature for the air, water, and food we need to survive. Yet now
the great tree of life is being hacked to pieces, endangering all life on
Earth, and our own existence. But this destruction should only deepen our
resolve to fight with everything we have. I firmly believe we can stop the
destruction and live in harmony -- but it'll take every single one of us.
This is the ultimate fight for our lives, our mother, and everything we
love. Join us.
From my heart to yours,
José Gregorio Díaz Mirabal, leader of
Wakuenai Kurripaco Indigenous People, and General Coordinator of Indigenous
Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA)
