INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES UNDER WATER IN THE AMAZON

CORONAVIRUS AND CLIMATECRISIS - THOUSANDS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE IN URGENT NEED AFTER EXTREME FLOODS 

As indigenous people in the Ecuadorian Amazon fight to prevent the spread of COVID-19 into their territories, extreme floods on the Bobonaza river have caused bridges to collapse, flooded homes and food gardens  threatening the livelihood of thousands of people.This is the worst flood in recent history, caused by deforestation and climate change. This is the Climate Crisis!

The coronavirus pandemic exacerbates the situation, because government agencies are overrun dealing with the virus outbreak and have little resources to provide emergency help. These communities have no access to basic services, which leaves these indigenous people in an extremely vulnerable situation. 

Indigenous peoples of the Amazon are on the frontlines of climate change, protecting living forests while resisting extraction and other threats They are putting their lives on the line and now they need our SUPPORT!  We are asking the international community to support the guardians of the forest during this emergency to help urgent humanitarian aid, including food, shelter and clothing for those in need. 


All donations will go directly to the affected communities via  Amazon Watch. 

THANK YOU!

CORONAVIRUS Y CRISIS CLIMÁTICA - MILES DE INDÍGENAS CON NECESIDADES URGENTES DESPUÉS DE INUNDACIONES EXTREMAS

Mientras los indígenas en la Amazonía ecuatoriana luchan para prevenir el coronavirus en sus territorios,  inundaciones sin precendentes en el río Bobonaza, en Ecuador, han causado que cientos de familias pierdan sus hogares y también dañen sus cultivos. Escuelas han sido arrazdas. Esta es la peor inundación en la región, causada por el cambio climático y la deforestación. Esto es la crisis climática

La pandemia de coronavirus exacerba la situación, porque las agencias gubernamentales están saturadas atendiendo el brote del virus y tienen pocos recursos para brindar ayuda. Estas comunidades no tienen acceso a servicios básicos, lo que deja a las familias indígenas en una situación extremadamente vulnerable.

Los pueblos indígenas de la Amazonía están luchando contra el cambio climático, arriesgando sus vidas y ahora necesitan nuestro APOYO. Pedimos a la comunidad internacional que apoye a los guardianes del bosque y que ayude a proporcionar alimentos, refugio y ropa a los necesitados.

Todas las donaciones irán directamente a las comunidades afectadas a través de Amazon Watch.

GRACIAS!
