            Dear friends of the rainforests,

            White sand beaches, turquoise water, coconut trees, lush forests. Sipora island looks like paradise, but for the Mentawai Indigenous people it is simply home. They have been the stewards of the island for centuries. 

            In July 2023, the Mentawai people learned that a large-scale logging permit had been granted to a company to clear 20,706 hectares of forest. It is their land, their forests, their gardens and their sources of food and water that could disappear without their consent – simply so that a company can sell timber.

            Indigenous communities, NGOs and local authorities have spoken out against this man-made disaster-in-the-making. 

            There is a ray of hope, however: The logging company needs to submit an environmental impact assessment (EIA) by September 4 to get the final green light. If the EIA is rejected, the logging permit will be cancelled or put on hold. 

            Please speak out for the Indigenous people of Sipora in their struggle to save their livelihoods and survival on their small island by signing our petition.

                  TAKE ACTION  
                  Thanks for being involved,

            Referendum in Ecuador halts oil drilling in Yasuní National Park
            A majority of people in Ecuador voted to end oil production in Yasuní National Park in a binding referendum. This is a huge victory for Indigenous people as well as environmental and human rights organizations in the South American country. Rainforest Rescue supported the Yasuní campaign by raising awareness and providing funding.

                  SUCCESS  
           
              
            The Amazon rainforest plays a crucial role in the Earth’s climate system – once a certain share is lost, the rest of the forest will be doomed as well.

            As diverse as Latin America's natural settings are, so are the threats. With your support, we can continue our mission of protecting and preserving the rainforest together with local activists and Indigenous peoples.
