Amazon Watch works to protect the rainforest and advance the rights of
indigenous peoples in the Amazon Basin. We partner with indigenous and
environmental organizations in campaigns for human rights, corporate
accountability and the preservation of the Amazon's ecological systems.
Our Vision:
We envision a world that honors and values cultural and
biological diversity and the critical contribution of tropical rainforests to
our planet's life support systems. We believe that indigenous self-determination
is paramount, and see that indigenous knowledge, cultures and traditional
practices contribute greatly to sustainable and equitable stewardship of the
Earth. We strive for a world in which governments, corporations and civil
society respect the collective rights of indigenous peoples to free, prior and
informed consent over any activity affecting their territories and resources. We
commit, in the spirit of partnership and mutual respect, to support our
indigenous allies in their efforts to protect life, land, and culture in
accordance with their aspirations and needs.
