To Peruvian authorities:

We urge the Peruvian Congress and national authorities to stop any attempts that could bring about the extermination of isolated Indigenous Peoples and those in initial contact, such as Bill No. 3518/2022-CR (known as the "Genocide Bill”). Peru must respect the principles of non-contact and self-determination that protect these Indigenous Peoples.

Amazon emergency: block the "genocide bill" now!
Peru's lawmakers are about to vote on a new law that could cause a new genocide in the Amazon.

This hellish proposal has a target: the sacred lands of isolated Indigenous communities, who are unaware of the danger surrounding them.

Backed by miners, loggers and oil lobbyists, if this law passes, it will strip off these isolated communities' land rights, creating a new wave of invasions and destruction, violence and bringing deadly viruses.

We need to act.

Indigenous leaders from across the country have taken their plea to the press, organised protests and are lobbying lawmakers. But they fear this won't be enough to stop the law. Now, they have asked our help to make this global -- hoping that a groundswell support from global voices could tip the scales in their favor.

Let's answer their call -- add your voice now, and let's shield these communities from this hellish onslaught.
