What are we looking for?

Form an alliance for the Amazon, a sort of platform of platforms where different networks, organizations, initiatives and campaigns converge, dialogue and coordinate.
The Assembly does not seek to replace, standardize or centralize the different articulations, but rather to support and strengthen the different initiatives and generate new ones.
To build a process, and therefore to aim at cycles of assemblies that address different problems and build solutions. The Assembly is a spiral process of assemblies-proposals-actions-assemblies.
The assembly does not seek to solve specific problems that are already being addressed by other organizations, but rather to generate exchanges, connections and interactions to strengthen these initiatives.
Emphasize that the pandemic is aggravating ethnocide, ecocide and extractivism in the Amazon.
Articulate the diversity of perspectives of the different Amazonian countries around the defense of the rights of indigenous peoples, human rights and the rights of nature.
To show that covid-19 is the product of an economic model that promotes deforestation, destruction of biodiversity, extensive agriculture, extractivism and climate change.
Call and lobby for the declaration of a moratorium in the Amazon, prohibiting the various extractive activities in the Amazon region and indigenous territories.
Promote a sort of «international boycott» of products that encourage the exploitation and destruction of the Amazon and indigenous peoples.
Articulate strategies for strengthening self-government and self-management of indigenous territories with strategies for making demands to the States.
Raise awareness and visibility of the Amazon at a global level.
Promote alternatives and systemic changes based on local, regional and international experiences at different levels (production, food, consumption, health, security, etc.).
