There's still time to save 2.2 *million* acres ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌ ‌  ‌

            A gold mining boom is threatening to destroy one of the oldest 
and largest remaining stretches of intact Amazon rainforest, threatening the 
home and livelihoods of the Wapichan peoples of Guyana.

            Together with Rainforest Trust, we can save 2.2 million acres of 
it – helping these forest guardians secure their land titles and create 
protected areas to stop new mining, logging, and extractive projects for 
good.

            This is truly one of the last wild places on Earth, and one of 
our greatest assets for sustaining biodiversity and combating climate 
change. With all of us coming together, we can keep it permanently secure 
for nature – and carry on campaigning to protect vital forests everywhere.

            Can you help save this forest home?


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

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


            The Wapichan peoples have been the guardians of these forests 
for generations. For decades they have worked with local organisations in 
Guyana to demarcate their territories, develop maps, and collect 
biodiversity data for this area, even continuously identifying new species!

            But an increased demand for gold worldwide is driving the 
relentless spread of new gold mines. And without legal protection, these 
forests where Indigenous communities like the Wapichan peoples have always 
lived are most at risk of exploitation.

            Now we can help them secure legal recognition for their 
ancestral lands and protect 2.2 million acres of this remote wilderness 
forever. Then continue campaigning to protect the natural world everywhere 
from corporate exploitation.

            Saving this much pristine rainforest would be a game changer for 
the Amazon and the Indigenous communities who live there – can you help?

fighting for people and the planet.
