About
The initiative “Amazonia for Life 80% by 2025” seeks to avert the tipping point in the largest forest on the planet. The Indigenous Peoples across the basin and allies are raising their voices to make a call to protect the Amazonia and safeguard our future.

The Movement

Amazonia for Life: Protect 80% by 2025 is led by the Coordinator of Indigenous Organizations of the Amazon River Basin (COICA). COICA was founded in 1984 and is the umbrella organization of the Indigenous federations of the Amazon Basin countries. It advocates for Indigenous Peoples’ rights of the 511 nationalities and groups that live in the basin – including the nearly 100 uncontacted communities. COICA is the lead organization advancing the Amazonia for Life: Protect 80% by 2025 initiative.

Our Steering Committee

COICA and Stand.earth co-coordinate a steering committee dedicated to advancing the 80×25 vision in partnership with RAISG, AVAAZ, Amazon Watch, Wild Heritage, Re:Wild, Earth Insights and COIAB. The initiative is working to build a worldwide shift in awareness and advocacy around protecting 80% of Amazonia by 2025 — the level science says is necessary to avoid catastrophic tipping points that would transform the Amazonia as we know it. And the moment is urgent — degradation and deforestation levels are currently approaching 26% tipping point of irreversible damage to the Amazon ecosystem.

Over 1200 Supporting Organizations and Global Leaders

A diverse group of hundreds of civil society organizations and a wide range of global cultural leaders are in support of averting this tipping point crisis and advancing bold solutions in the Amazon region that future generations will be proud of.
