The Amazon is the world's biggest rainforest, home to more than 340 thousand Indigenous Peoples and half of the planet's terrestrial species. Cattle ranching, soya plantations and timber extracting are some of the key drivers of deforestation in the Amazon. Greenpeace has been working with our Indigenous allies to guarantee the demarcation of their lands and exposing the atrocious violence against forest defenders by loggers and land grabbers. We have also been campaigning for zero deforestation and putting pressure on the government to increase forest protection.
