For 20 years, Amazon Watch has defended indigenous peoples' rights and territories, recognizing them as the best guardians of rainforests. These lands, holding 80% of global biodiversity, face constant threats from extractive industries like oil, agribusiness, and mega-dams.

We partner with indigenous allies to establish industrial "No Go Zones," supporting initiatives like Sarayaku's Kawsak Sacha (Living Forests) to keep oil in the ground. Our aim is to expand this model, protecting vital areas such as Yasuní National Park and the Xingu and Tapajós rivers from industrial development.

We also conduct international market campaigns, including our Amazon Crude Campaign, to reduce demand for rainforest-destroying oil. We expose and pressure governments, corporations, and financiers causing harm. Learn more and join the movement at amazonwatch.org.

For 20 years, Amazon Watch has defended indigenous peoples' rights and territories, recognizing their vital role as guardians of rainforests that hold 80% of global biodiversity. These lands face severe threats from extractive industries, including oil, agribusiness, and mega-dams.

We partner with indigenous allies to establish "No Go Zones" and support initiatives like Sarayaku's Kawsak Sacha, or Living Forests, to keep oil in the ground. Our international market campaigns pressure corporations and governments, aiming to reduce demand for rainforest-destroying oil and expose financiers of harmful policies.

Amazon Watch defends indigenous rights and territories, vital for protecting the Amazon rainforest. Indigenous lands, holding 80% of global biodiversity, face constant threats from extractive industries seeking resources. If unchecked, the Amazon's Sacred Headwaters could become an oil field, and other regions destroyed by agribusiness and mega-dams.

We stand with indigenous allies to establish "No Go Zones" and champion Sarayaku's Kawsak Sacha (Living Forests) proposal, advocating to keep oil in the ground and expand this model across the Amazon, protecting areas like Yasuní National Park. Our international campaigns, including the Amazon Crude Campaign, reduce demand for destructive oil and expose harmful financiers. Learn more and join the movement at amazonwatch.org.

Environmental justice addresses critical global concerns: communities worldwide disproportionately face environmental hazards, and the benefits and costs of environmental policies are often unequally distributed. Learn more about OECD's work on this topic: OECD Environmental Justice.

The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) is an international body established in 1960. It collaborates to build better policies for prosperity, equality, and well-being. The OECD works with governments to establish evidence-based international standards and find solutions to social, economic, and environmental challenges, serving as a unique forum for data, analysis, and best practices.

U.S. wetlands are in crisis, with half of these vital ecosystems in the lower 48 states vanishing since the 1780s. A 2023 Supreme Court decision removed federal protections, leaving remaining wetlands vulnerable to draining and filling.

Wetlands are crucial for biodiversity; nearly 50% of threatened and endangered species rely on them, with over 33% living exclusively there. Their loss degrades water quality, increases flood risks, and accelerates extinction; many endangered wetland species lack critical habitat protection.

Urge the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to protect more critical habitat for wetland-dependent species. Learn more and act at www.saveourfreshwater.org.

FAO champions multistakeholder partnerships to build sustainable food and agriculture systems, addressing hunger, climate change, and rural poverty. The World Banana Forum (WBF) exemplifies this, showcasing the banana sector as a global model for inclusive, climate-smart value chains. This collaboration among producers, governments, and retailers advances sustainability, fairness, and resilience through initiatives like living wages and responsible purchasing.

This event aims to raise awareness of partnerships' role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and promote the WBF as a replicable model for other agricultural sectors. For more information, visit the FAO Partnerships page and the World Banana Forum.
