Pachamama Alliance

Meet Julia, an Indigenous healer from Salasaca, Ecuador, as she chants a sacred blessing to begin an energy cleansing ceremony—a practice deeply connected to nature’s rhythms. Her wisdom feels especially poignant as we prepare to welcome the Winter Solstice tomorrow, a sacred turning point marking the longest night and the Sun's return, reminding us of nature’s cycles of renewal and balance. 🌞 For Indigenous communities and Earth-based traditions around the world, this moment is one of reflection, gratitude, and connection. It honors the harmony between light and dark, and the resilience of life even in the coldest, quietest times. At Pachamama Alliance, we see the solstice as a call to action and gratitude. Just as the Sun begins its steady return, we are reminded that even the smallest efforts—like planting a seed, protecting a tree, or supporting ancestral wisdom—can grow into something transformative. 🌱 As we look to the year ahead, let us recommit to protecting the lands, waters, and traditions that sustain life for all beings. Together, we can honor the cycles of nature and work toward a future filled with light and harmony. ✨ Set your intentions for the growing light—and consider making a donation to our year-end fundraiser. Your support helps protect the Amazon, uplift Indigenous leaders, and safeguard the planet for future generations. ✨ https://hubs.ly/Q0304fQ30 #WinterSolstice #IndigenousWisdom #ProtectTheAmazon #NatureCycles #SacredEarth

Happy #GivingTuesday! Today, your generosity can make a world of difference for the Amazon. Until midnight PT, every dollar you give will be matched—doubling your impact up to $30,000 for this vital cause. Why Act Now? The Amazon, home to 30% of the world’s remaining rainforests, faces rapid deforestation. In Ecuador alone, over 787,000 hectares have been lost since 2001—releasing the equivalent of 10 million car trips’ worth of carbon dioxide. The stakes couldn’t be higher, and the time to act is now. Indigenous Leadership in Action Indigenous communities are the Amazon’s strongest protectors. Achuar leader Uyunkar Domingo Peas Nampichkai co-founded the Amazon Sacred Headwaters Alliance (ASHA), a coalition of 30 Indigenous nations working tirelessly to protect 86 million acres of rainforest—the size of Italy. Your support amplifies their efforts. Your Gift Matters. With your help, we can protect: 🌿 10% of Global Biodiversity: The Amazon is home to 10% of all known species, making it one of the planet's most biodiverse regions. 💧 20% of Freshwater Reserves:The Amazon basin contains 20% of the world’s freshwater, essential for life and climate stability. 🌍 1.5M Indigenous Guardians: Over 1.5 million Indigenous people serve as the Amazon’s guardians. 💊 25% of Medicines: About 25% of modern medicines come from rainforest plants, safeguarding potential future cures. 🌳 80% of Forests at Risk: 80% of the Amazon’s forests face threats from deforestation, oil extraction, and mining. https://hubs.li/Q02-fQPl0

Did you know that one tree can be a game-changer for both people and the planet? Meet the Morete Palm! 🌴 The morete palm (Mauritia flexuosa), often called the "Tree of Life" in the Amazon, is a powerhouse of health and environmental benefits. Not only does it provide nutrient-packed fruits rich in vitamins A, C, and E, but it also plays a vital role in fighting climate change. These remarkable trees: ✨ Store Carbon: Morete palms grow in swampy areas and therefore store massive amounts of carbon, helping to fight climate change. 💧 Purify Water: Their roots filter and purify water, sustaining vibrant Amazonian ecosystems. 🌳 Sustain Communities: Indigenous communities and Amazonian wildlife both rely on morete for food, shelter, and materials. Through its Forest Economies Program, Fundación Pachamama ensures morete is harvested sustainably under conservation agreements that protect forests and prevent logging. By strengthening the value chain, they’re creating sustainable livelihoods for Indigenous communities while safeguarding the Amazon’s delicate ecosystems. 💚 This #GivingTuesday, join us in protecting the Amazon and empowering its guardians.
