Amazon Rainforest with a river running through it

The Global Alliance for the Rights of Nature movement has worked in countries around the world to give animals and entire ecosystems the same rights that human beings have.

So far, the legal strategy has been remarkably successful – and it is time that the new Brazilian president use this same tactic with the Amazon rainforest.

After years of pro-deforestation efforts from the former right-wing president, Lula could work to save what rainforest remains and protect indigenous rights in the area.

Of course, the Amazon Rainforest is essential for human health and well-being: it is a carbon sink, capturing greenhouse gas emissions, and it is home to many indigenous people. In addition to all of those human benefits, the rainforest deserves to exist in its own right.

Please sign this petition to tell Lula to enshrine the Amazon’s right to exist into law!
