What is the Amazon Defenders Fund?

The Amazon Defenders Fund mobilizes timely and direct solidarity grants to Indigenous peoples across the Amazon, guided by the priorities and agendas of Earth Defenders. Amazon Watch devotes a third of its budget to the Amazon Defenders Fund, and from 2022-2023, its grants will total $2 million. The fund is often the first line of support for many Indigenous and forest leaders and communities, as well as those facing repression and different forms of violence.
