What 30 years of solidarity means
Solidarity means showing up – and staying.
For 30 years, Amazon Watch has worked alongside Indigenous peoples who have defended their territories and the Amazon for generations.
Our role is to follow their leadership, strengthen their campaigns, and stay with the struggle for as long as it takes.

Why this research matters
Amazon Watch research is a campaign tool. It documents harm, names the governments, companies, and financial actors driving it, and gives Indigenous partners, journalists, and decision-makers evidence they can use. That work supports public understanding and lasting pressure.
