Ever since the global pandemic crisis has begun, indigenous people have called out for an immediate suspension of the resources to be extracted in the Amazon. In Ecuador, two major oil pipelines are on the brink of rupturing for the second time in the same year. They have been poisoning the rivers and the indigenous communities in a place that is one of the most biodiverse places on earth. Indigenous communities have announced an immediate shutdown of the pipelines and an end to oil company impunity. Many people support this critical step toward an Amazon-wide moratorium on extraction. As the pandemic and arson fires have swept across the planet’s greatest tropical forest, the people must stand with Indigenous communities on the frontlines, who are risking everything to protect the Amazon and our climate, as a global movement.
