✨ Big win for climate justice & Indigenous rights! The CA Senate just passed SR 51 (37-0!) 🎉, heeding Amazonian Indigenous leaders’ call to #EndAmazonCrude. 🚫🛢️🌳 Real climate leadership = a just transition away from fossil fuels everywhere.

“This is the first step in ending California’s addiction to Amazon crude. Consuming oil from the Amazon is incompatible with climate leadership."

🚨 A new tri-border report by Amazon Watch & @AmazonUnderwrld shows how armed groups dominate daily life in the Amazon. After the #ACTO Summit, governments must protect defenders, dismantle illicit economies, & back Indigenous governance. 👉 Read report:

“The tri-border must be the test case: protect defenders, dismantle illicit economies, and pair enforcement with peacebuilding and restoration.”

In the Amazon’s borderlands, Indigenous peoples live under the rule of armed groups. Violence, deforestation & coca fields spread as the state disappears. Amazon Watch Program Director Raphael Hoetmer & Amazon Underworld expose this crisis in El PaĂs.
amazonwatch.org
Without coordinated action and meaningful inclusion of local voices, the region faces escalating violence and irreversible damage to one of the world’s most critical ecosystems.

Indigenous peoples in Colombia’s Amazon are trapped in a cocaine war imposed on their lands. Armed groups recruit their youth, control communities & spread violence, while the State fails to provide protection or justice. Indigenous sovereignty is at risk.

Peace in Colombia relies on working with the very groups that control drug trafficking and profit from violence. Will it happen fast enough?

YasunĂ is in danger. Two years after the people voted to keep the oil underground, the government of Ecuador has not complied. They ignore the popular referendum, international justice, and put isolated communities at risk. We demand #YasunĂLibreDePetrĂłleo Now!.
🚨El YasunĂ está en peligro. 2 años despuĂ©s de que el pueblo votĂł por dejar el petrĂłleo bajo tierra, el Estado no cumpliĂł. Ignoran la consulta popular, la justicia internacional y ponen en riesgo a los pueblos en aislamiento. Exigimos #YasunĂLibreDePetrĂłleo ¡Ahora!
