Amazon Watch
San Francisco, CA

Amazon Watch's mission is to work with indigenous and environmental organizations in the Amazon Basin to defend the environment and advance indigenous peoples' rights in the face of large-scale industrial development-oil and gas pipelines, power lines, roads, and other mega-projects. Brazilīs remote Amazon heartlands are currently threatened by intensive industrial development plans that include the creation of industrial waterways to transport natural resources and massive gas and hydroelectric development projects to meet Brazilīs energy demands. Amazon Watch is monitoring industrial mega-projects in the Brazilian Amazon paying particular attention to the Urucu Gas Pipeline Project, the Belo Monte Dam and the Tocantins-Araguaia Waterway, which threaten indigenous lands and forest communities with many damaging social and environmental impacts.
