Stand with Indigenous Leaders: Fund the Amazon

Indigenous leaders are calling for action. Add your voice in the comments to make sure world leaders see it.

What to know:

• Indigenous peoples protect most of the world’s biodiversity — but get less than 1% of global climate funding.
• The Amazon Fund sends resources straight to Indigenous communities protecting the rainforest.
• Comment on Global Citizen’s Instagram video: tell Germany & France to fund the Amazon’s Indigenous guardians now.

At GC NO Amazônia, Indigenous leaders spoke with one voice: protecting the Amazon means directly supporting the communities who call it home.

Germany’s Chancellor Friedrich Merz and France’s President Emmanuel Macron have the chance to answer that call — by contributing to the Amazon Fund, which channels resources straight to Indigenous peoples and local organizations keeping the forest standing.

We’ve shared a powerful video on Global Citizen’s Instagram featuring quotes from Indigenous leaders in the Amazon, calling on these leaders to act. Now, we need thousands of people to show they stand with them — right where Merz and Macron can see it.
