Save my home!

Can you imagine a world without the Amazon Rainforest? It is the single largest tropical rainforest in the world with ten percent of the planet's known flora and fauna. Described as the "lungs of the planet" about twenty percent of the Earth's oxygen is produced here. The Amazon also functions as a huge carbon sink storing massive amounts of C02--which if permitted to be released into the atmosphere would be catastrophic. Life on planet Earth would not be the same as we now know it.

It is unthinkable that Brazil would seek to remove laws protecting the Amazon and open it up to clear cutting. The good news is that seventy nine percent of Brazilians oppose these laws and that President Dilma Rousseff is open to vetoing this legislation. We must stand with our fellow Brazilians and send a global message to defend the Amazon!

Sign our petition below to the Rousseff government letting them know that the Amazon must be protected and not deforested.

We must preserve this

We must preserve this treasure for our future. We must unite and voice the living world of the Amazon. There are so many species of plants, animals, insects and so on untouched by man kind. I am a Brazilian who went for a short visit to this part of the world and was shocked to see the destruction and its proportion. PLEASE HELP STOP DEVASTATION OF THIS PARADISE.
