Peru’s lawmakers have pushed through Law No. 31973 (known as the ‘anti-forest law’) that legalizes the destruction of the Amazon and threatens the survival of Indigenous peoples.

This ‘anti-forest’ law gives agribusiness land-grabbers legal ownership of precious rainforest lands, even if they are taken from Indigenous peoples ancestral territory – and Peruvians have taken to the streets by the thousands to demand a repeal. Now, forest defenders are taking the fight all the way to Peru’s highest court, and they need a global spotlight on the case to make sure it isn’t derailed by powerful agribusiness lobbies desperate to keep the law in place by any means. Add your name now to stand with Peruvian forest defenders and support the repeal of the anti-forest law.
