<P><STRONG>Peru’s Amazon is under attack.</STRONG></P>
<P>Canadian company First Quantum Minerals Perú is threatening
to<STRONG> rip open the precious rainforest for mining, polluting
vital water sources and killing wildlife</STRONG> like the
vulnerable black spider monkey.</P>
<P>But the Indigenous peoples of the Shawi Nation have a watertight
plan to <STRONG>beat this bully in court.</STRONG> We can help them
win – then supercharge their alliance’s efforts to <STRONG>protect a
massive 86 MILLION acres</STRONG> of Amazon rainforest!</P>
<P>They just need to <STRONG>prove the land belongs to the Shawi
Nation</STRONG> and demonstrate they weren’t consulted about these
mining plans – and they’re asking for our help to do it. With a
people-powered legal fund for research, lawyers, and court fees we
can help them get one step closer to winning!</P>
<P><STRONG>Can you chip in to save the Amazon – and fight against
corporate exploitation everywhere?</STRONG></P>

<P>Known as the Earth’s lungs, the Amazon rainforest is a crucial
carbon sink and rain machine, teeming with thousands of species
vital to all life on Earth. After Brazil, Peru is home to the
second-largest area of the Amazon – but it’s fast disappearing.
<STRONG>Millions of acres have been destroyed by mining and logging
companies.</STRONG></P>
<P>Now, the Shawi Nation, which holds <STRONG>200 Indigenous
communities, is facing an existential threat.</STRONG> The Peruvian
government has granted 11 mining concessions to First Quantum on
Indigenous lands WITHOUT consulting local communities.</P>
<P>Locals are living in fear of an open-pit mine at the headwaters
of the stunning Cachiyacu River poisoning their drinking water and
destroying their way of life.</P>
<P><STRONG>It’s totally wrong and communities are fighting hard
against this toxic mining giant to prove it.</STRONG> With the Ekō
community behind them they could supercharge their efforts,
immediately hiring lawyers to <STRONG>block exploitation of their
land before it begins</STRONG> – and kick First Quantum out
forever.</P>
<P>The company is already scrambling after it was <STRONG>forced to
drop its mining projects in Panama following a huge
backlash</STRONG> from locals. So we know the Shawi Nation has a
real chance of winning this!</P>
<P>Their lands are part of the <STRONG>86 million acres</STRONG> of
Amazon rainforest that our partners the Amazon Sacred Headwaters
Alliance are working around the clock to defend. We can help them
win this crucial fight, then keep going until every single acre is
protected.</P>
<P><STRONG>Can you chip in to unite with Indigenous communities and
save the world’s forests?</STRONG></P>
