 More than 10,000 species are at risk of extinction in the Amazon, and leaders are meeting to discuss how to stop it! 

                                Extinction is knocking at humanity's door. But there is one brave group who have given their lives, year after year, to save us all. And they need our help on the brink of a summit that could decide the future of the Amazon and the balance of life on Earth. Sign in defense of the forest and share it with everyone you know.  
                                SIGN NOW  

                                Dear friends,  
                                Extinction is knocking at humanity's door. We are one or two events away from a tipping point that could leave us without water, without oxygen, without food, without safety. 

                                But there is a brave group who have given their lives, year after year, to save us all. We owe them our existence: the Indigenous peoples who have preserved 80% of the planet's biodiversity while the rest of us did our best to destroy it. 

                                Now, they’re asking us for support at a defining moment for our planet. 

                                In three weeks, the governments of all the countries of the Amazon basin will meet to decide the future of the forest -- and Indigenous peoples are fighting once again to protect the rainforest and save us from a disastrous tipping point that would turn it to desert. 

                                Loggers, miners and industrial ranchers go into overdrive to keep the Amazon open for destruction - so our call needs to be even stronger! Sign now and we’ll join our voices with the heroic defenders of life and hand-deliver this petition to decision-makers at the summit:  

                                JOIN THE DEFENDERS OF LIFE  
                                Indigenous people have always been right. Their existence in harmony with nature shows us that this is how we should have always lived! Because we didn't listen to them before, we are now on the brink of an existential crisis.

                                But there’s still time to join them in protecting the delicate balance of life on Earth. Avaaz is reaching out to governments and Indigenous communities in the region to make this summit a watershed moment.  

                                Every voice counts.

                                Sign to pressure leaders to recognize the region's Indigenous lands and protect 80% of the forest. Let's join our voices with those of all citizens around the world who have already mobilized in defense of the forest in a mega-petition of over 8 million signatures. It will be impossible for leaders to ignore our call!  
                                JOIN THE DEFENDERS OF LIFE  
                                For decades, humanity has been creating fanciful narratives in books and movies about our fear of extinction. Now, the apocalypse is knocking, but we are presented with the heroes who can lead us. Each of us is given the chance to join them in the epic battle against the point of no return - only then will our species remain worthy of existence on this beautiful planet.

                                With the hope of making life our great hero's journey,

                                Nana, Diego, Liliana, Laura, Oscar, Nell and the entire Avaaz team
