Amazon Defenders Fund
Since 2006, Amazon Watch has mobilized resources to address our grassroots Amazonian partners’ priorities. Our solidarity fund, the Amazon Defenders Fund (ADF), is built upon a multi-decade track record as a trusted partner among Indigenous nations and local organizations and guided by the principles and cosmology of Indigenous peoples: interconnectedness, relationality, and reciprocity. The ADF mobilizes flexible, timely, and direct solidarity funds into the hands of historical and emerging Indigenous leaders, peoples, and organizations to advance the Amazonian Indigenous agenda of autonomy and self-determination. In recent years, we’ve quadrupled our solidarity grantmaking and are working to decolonize philanthropy by distributing nearly one-third of our budget directly to the Amazon. The ADF responds to an accelerating environmental and human rights crisis across the Amazon, such as the Amazon fires since 2019, the current COVID-19 pandemic, and the recent increase in violent threats against Earth Defenders. The fund is often the first line of support for many Indigenous and forest leaders and communities, as well as those facing repression and different forms of violence. The ADF is one of the primary mechanisms sought by both foundations and private donors wishing to effectively and immediately reach those directly affected by emergencies across the Amazon Basin.GeographiesAmazon Rainforest - Codajás, State of Amazonas, 69450-000, Brazil;Brazil;Ecuador;Peru;ColombiaDatesNot indicatedSourceUser-generatedTraditional knowledge,Sustainable development,Rainforests,Environmental justice,Traditional medicine and healing,Women's rights,Cultural rights,Environmental and resource rightsIndigenous peoples––
