The Amazon rainforest isn't just beautiful—it’s vital for life on Earth. It stores vast amounts of carbon, stabilizes our climate, and provides a home for millions of species and Indigenous communities. Yet every minute, an area the size of a football field is destroyed.
Much of this destruction is driven by human activities: cattle ranching, logging, mining, and industrial agriculture, fueled by global demand for products like beef, soy, and leather. Even the goods we buy in the UK, Europe, and the US can be linked to Amazon deforestation.
But the Amazon’s fate is not inevitable. Indigenous peoples are leading the fight to protect it, and we can all play a role—by changing what we consume, holding corporations and politicians accountable, and standing with forest defenders.
