In the winter of 2012, The Pachamama Alliance launched the Defend the Amazon campaign to raise funds to support expanded mobilization efforts, increased public awareness, and community impact studies in Ecuador's Amazon in the face of the XI Oil Round.
In this video, Bill Twist recounts what Fundación Pachamama, our sister organization in Ecuador, together with partners like Amazon Watch, and new allies like Avaaz, have accomplished together since the beginning of 2013, raising the bar like never before.
The threat of new oil development in these pristine lands has not disappeared, but with the resolve of our indigenous partners, the growing international pressure, and your voice, we can make a difference together for the Amazon and the world.
To all who have stood with us and our indigenous allies, thank you for your continued commitment. We look forward to keeping you updated with this vital work.
