love is not just the soft place but also the place where you have to look at yourself and ask, “can i be better? can i be kinder? can i give more? can i listen more? can i grow? can i support?”

Anyways, please, if you can, donate to organizations working with indigenous people to save the Amazon rainforest like Survival International, Rainforest Foundation, Rainforest Concern (you can literally sponsor an acre of land!!), the Articulation of Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, and the Coordinadora de la Organizaciones Indígenas de la Cuenca Amazónica.

I particularly encourage people to donate to the last two organizations since they were created by and for indigenous peoples of the Amazon.

EDIT 22/08/2019

Removed Amazon Watch and SOS Amazonia, due to their rating/ not being able to confirm their trustworthiness/effectiveness. Added the Rainforest Foundation, APIB, and COICA donation links.

ugh fine my personal blog is not cutting so I’ll post here

DO! NOT! DONATE! TO! AMAZON! CONSERVATION! NGOs! DO NOT!

they don’t act on the root of the problem, they don’t mitigate the effects of deforestation, they do have limited action and they don’t help conserve the forest land outside their very small grounds besides doing little to nothing to help the people who actually live in the amazon and conserve it on a daily basis

DONATE TO THE INDIGENOUS MOVEMENTS INSTEAD

they are organized, they can keep woodcutting companies away from their land, they are getting murdered for it, they are the only reason there is any forest left at all
