The First Peoples of Turtle Island foretold the Eagle and Condor prophecy, predicting a time when people from the world's four directions would unite. The Eagle represents the northern hemisphere, and the Condor the southern.

This prophecy will be fulfilled in June at the Onjisay Aki International Climate Summit. Indigenous peoples will gather at the center of Turtle Island to unite the human family.

For 20 years, Amazon Watch has defended indigenous peoples' rights and territories, recognizing them as the best guardians of rainforests. These lands, holding 80% of global biodiversity, face constant threats from extractive industries like oil, agribusiness, and mega-dams.

We partner with indigenous allies to establish industrial "No Go Zones," supporting initiatives like Sarayaku's Kawsak Sacha (Living Forests) to keep oil in the ground. Our aim is to expand this model, protecting vital areas such as Yasuní National Park and the Xingu and Tapajós rivers from industrial development.

We also conduct international market campaigns, including our Amazon Crude Campaign, to reduce demand for rainforest-destroying oil. We expose and pressure governments, corporations, and financiers causing harm. Learn more and join the movement at amazonwatch.org.
