The Amazon Rainforest contains the greatest biodiversity on the planet and for thousands of years has been home to indigenous peoples.  There are innumerable reasons why protecting Amazonia should be a top priority, including its vital role in restraining global climate change. Yet, the destruction of the Amazon is accelerating due to deforestation, mining, oil drilling, dam-building, and industrial agriculture. These threats could lead to the collapse of the Amazonian ecosystem within the next 40 years.


The Amazon Alliance addresses the urgent situation of environmental degradation and cultural loss in Amazonia.  Indigenous leaders and environmental organizations founded the Amazon Alliance to ensure that Amazonian indigenous peoples have power in the processes that affect them. The Amazon Alliance brings leaders of the Amazonian indigenous and environmental movements together.
