Amazon Watch defends indigenous rights and territories, vital for protecting the Amazon rainforest. Indigenous lands, holding 80% of global biodiversity, face constant threats from extractive industries seeking resources. If unchecked, the Amazon's Sacred Headwaters could become an oil field, and other regions destroyed by agribusiness and mega-dams.

We stand with indigenous allies to establish "No Go Zones" and champion Sarayaku's Kawsak Sacha (Living Forests) proposal, advocating to keep oil in the ground and expand this model across the Amazon, protecting areas like Yasuní National Park. Our international campaigns, including the Amazon Crude Campaign, reduce demand for destructive oil and expose harmful financiers. Learn more and join the movement at amazonwatch.org.

For 20 years, Amazon Watch has defended indigenous peoples' rights and territories, recognizing them as the best guardians of rainforests. These lands, holding 80% of global biodiversity, face constant threats from extractive industries like oil, agribusiness, and mega-dams.

We partner with indigenous allies to establish industrial "No Go Zones," supporting initiatives like Sarayaku's Kawsak Sacha (Living Forests) to keep oil in the ground. Our aim is to expand this model, protecting vital areas such as Yasuní National Park and the Xingu and Tapajós rivers from industrial development.

We also conduct international market campaigns, including our Amazon Crude Campaign, to reduce demand for rainforest-destroying oil. We expose and pressure governments, corporations, and financiers causing harm. Learn more and join the movement at amazonwatch.org.
