Peru’s congress just passed a law giving agribusiness a LICENCE TO KILL the Amazon - it allows companies to seize Indigenous ancestral lands and level the rain forest for profit!
Peruvian citizens have flooded the streets demanding a repeal, and they need us to show the government that the world is watching their every move as forest defenders fight the law in court.
Now,
forest defenders are taking the fight all the way to Peru’s highest court, and they need a global spotlight on the case to make sure it isn’t derailed by powerful agribusiness lobbies desperate to keep the law in place by any means.
Add your name now to stand with Peruvian forest defenders and support the repeal of the anti-forest law!
"To Peruvian authorities:
We urge the Peruvian Congress and national authorities to stop the legalization of land invasion and deforestation that threaten the Amazon, Indigenous Peoples, and biodiversity by repealing Law No. 31973 (known as the 'anti-forest law'). Peru must respect the principles of free, prior, and informed consultation with Indigenous Peoples and adhere to its international commitments to protect the Amazon."
