AUCTION: To Support the Indigenous Peoples in the Amazon of BRASIL
The government of Brazil is actively incinerating the Amazon for the sake of urbanization and commodification. Violent deforestation has displaced and killed many indigenous communities, including the Guarani kaiowá community.
The government of Brazil continues to pardon acts of chemical warfare against the world’s largest natural resource for climate regulation. This is rapidly encouraging global warming and displacing indigenous and peasant communities within the Amazonia :
