In just 2024, Brazil recorded 731 oil-related accidents. That’s an average of two per day. Leaks, spills, fires. Offshore disasters. Now imagine this happening at the mouth of the Amazon River.

That’s exactly what Lulass's government is planning: 📍47 new offshore oil blocks 📍Right in the region where the Amazon River meets the Atlantic 📍Near Indigenous territories and unique coral reefs

What’s at risk? - Rare coral reef systems - Fishing that feeds entire communities - Mangrove forests - Indigenous Peoples' clean water and territories - The planet’s largest river system

This isn't just Brazil's problem: it's a global threat. That’s why Indigenous leaders and civil society are uniting to stop it. And they need your voice.
