            Vladimir,

            There’s an area of the Bolivian Amazon that scientists call a 
vital bridge between worlds. Here jaguars and pumas roam, maned wolves run, 
and shy tapirs gently forage – an entire ecosystem of species move through 
this natural corridor connecting the humid rainforest with the dry 
Chiquitano forest.

            But the last, big stretch of this precious forest is about to be 
sold to a Brazilian soy giant – unless we help save it!

            Our partners on the front lines say it’s not too late to block 
the sale, but they can’t do it alone. They’re up against agribusiness giant, 
Bom Futuro, with seemingly endless funds and in an exceptionally complex 
legal and regulatory process.

            But with an influx of cash now, they can press ahead with legal 
challenges, getting officials onside, monitoring forest and documenting 
threats – whatever it takes to prove this land must be protected and stop 
the sale. They’re running out of time – and urgently asking for help. Can 
you chip in to save this vital piece of the Bolivian Amazon?


            I'll donate $3
            I'll donate $4

            I'll donate $5
            I'll donate $9
            I'll donate another amount


            The drawn rectangle in the image is an area 3 times the size of 
Paris. This is the last stretch of unbroken forest that still connects the 
Bolivian dry Amazon (the Chiquitano forest) with the larger Amazon basin:



            If sold to Bom Futuro, precious forest would be razed and 
replaced with industrial-sized plots of soy, devastating the fragile 
ecosystem and the surrounding territories where Indigenous communities live:



            Endangered wildlife won’t be able to move between the Amazon 
rainforest and Chiquitano dry forests, like the giant armadillo:



            Millions of acres of Chiquitania have already been destroyed in 
just a few years. This area of the Bolivian Amazon has some of the highest 
rates of deforestation from slash-and-burn agriculture. And agribusiness is 
rushing to swoop in and turn even more of it into farmland.

            Saving these last acres of unbroken forest is absolutely 
critical. The forest stores water, shelters wildlife, and protects the 
people who live around it. This is their last hope for the survival of every 
living thing there!

            There's still time to challenge it legally and push regulators 
to do the right thing. But they're running out of money – and out of time. 
If enough of us chip in, we can rush them the cash they need to stop this 
disastrous land sale. And help defend people and nature from exploitative 
corporations.

            Can you chip in to save this vital piece of the Bolivian Amazon?

            Your donation will help power Ekō and our campaigns worldwide 
fighting for people and the planet.

            Vladimir, together we could set a powerful precedent for 
Indigenous rights and forest conservation in Bolivia, and beyond. Are you 
in?


            Thanks for all that you do,
            Yasmin and the Ekō team
