The Jungle's Not for Sale
Peru is witnessing violent clashes between indigenous groups desperately trying to protect the Amazon and the government, who has pushed through legislation allowing intensive mining, logging and large scale farming in the rainforest. If government and extractive industries have their way, the Peruvian rainforest and its people will suffer massive devastation, with disastrous consequences for the global climate.
Sign the urgent petitions and support the courageous struggle of the indigenous peoples to protect the Amazon.
Send a message to the President of Peru!
