ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF DONATIONS WILL GO DIRECTLY TO PROTECTING THE AMAZON
The Amazon Forest Fund is managed by Earth Alliance, which is hosted by Global Wildlife Conservation, a U.S. 501 nonprofit organization . Checks can be mailed to Global Wildlife Conservation, PO Box 129 | Austin, TX 78767 | USA - pleaseThe Amazon rainforest is on fire, with more than 9,000 wildfires scorching delicate, irreplaceable landscapes across Brazil this week — year to date, more than 72,000 fires have been reported by Brazil’s National Institute for Space Research .
An unprecedented surge in deforestation, which leads to a drier overall region. This means less rain and dry grasslands that, once they start burning, result in fires that are nearly impossible to control.Large-scale cattle operations and feed crops — much of it illegal — along with some impacts from logging, are the primary drivers of this deforestation.
In addition, indigenous peoples’ land covers about 110 million hectares of the Brazilian Amazon, making the region critical not just for biodiversity conservation and climate change mitigation, but also for the cultural survival, self-determination, and wellbeing of the Amazon's indigenous peoples.Earth Alliance has formed an emergency Amazon Forest Fund with an initial commitment of $5 million to focus critical resources on the key protections needed to maintain the ‘lungs of the planet.
These funds will be distributed directly to local partners and the indigenous communities protecting the Amazon, the incredible diversity of wildlife that lives there, and the health of the planet overall.
