I gave in the name of my cousin Catherine Costaz: Bravo magnifique projet Oscar! profite de ton périple

En español abajo. 

Hi! 
I’m currently biking from the shores of the Arctic Ocean in Alaska all the way down to the tip of South America. This transcontinental ride will serve as a fundraiser for the Amazon Watch, a nonprofit dedicated to protect the rainforest and advance the rights of Indigenous peoples in the Amazon Basin.

Along the roughly 25000km I will be sharing my own experiences and hope to do my best to approach the places I go through with a decolonized mindset, to show respect to the land and its inhabitants. 

If this trip inspires you to participate in the fundraiser, you'll be helping one of the most important causes of our time!
Amazon Watch works in solidarity with Indigenous and environmental organizations in campaigns for human rights, corporate accountability, and the preservation of the Amazon’s ecological systems. The harrowing truth is that the tipping point for the Amazon rainforest is here and bold and immediate actions are necessary to make the tipping point a turning point. Already more than 20% of the rainforest has been deforested, and new fossil fuel extraction, mining, large-scale hydroelectric dams, clearings for animal agriculture and other developments cause even greater deforestation. Any amount you donate will go towards the current and urgent goal of protecting 80% of the Amazon by 2025 https://amazonia80x2025.earth/declaration/

Hola!
Actualmente estoy andando en bicicleta desde las costas del Océano Ártico en Alaska hasta la punta de América del Sur. Este viaje transcontinental sirve para recaudar fondos para Amazon Watch, una organización sin fines de lucro dedicada a proteger la selva tropical y promover los derechos de los pueblos indígenas en la Amazonía.

A lo largo de aproximadamente 25000 km estaré compartiendo mis propias experiencias y espero hacerlo de la mejor manera, acercándome a los lugares que paso con una mentalidad descolonizada, mostrar respeto por la tierra y sus habitantes.

Si este viaje te inspira a participar en la recaudación de fondos, ¡estarás ayudando a una de las causas más importantes de nuestro tiempo!
Amazon Watch trabaja en solidaridad con organizaciones indígenas y ambientales en campañas por los derechos humanos, la responsabilidad corporativa y la preservación de los sistemas ecológicos de la Amazonía. La verdad es que el punto de inflexión para la selva amazónica está aquí y se necesitan acciones audaces e inmediatas para salvar lo que nos queda. Ya se ha deforestado más del 20% de la selva tropical y la nueva extracción de combustibles fósiles, la minería, la agricultura animal y otros desarrollos causan una deforestación aún mayor. Cualquier cantidad que sea donada, se destinará al objetivo actual y urgente de proteger el 80 % de la Amazonía para 2025 https://amazonia80x2025.earth/declaration/

Biking from Alaska to Patagonia for the Amazon

Protecting the Amazon rainforest and our climate in solidarity with Indigenous peoples

Since 1996, Amazon Watch has defended the Amazon rainforest and our climate in solidarity with Indigenous peoples. Long-term, trusted partnerships with Indigenous peoples — the best stewards of the rainforest — are the foundation for Amazon Watch’s campaigns for climate justice, corporate accountability, and the permanent protection of the rainforest.

The Amazon is home to more than 511 distinct Indigenous peoples. As our planet’s largest tropical rainforest, it stabilizes our global climate and an immense amount of Earth’s biodiversity and flowing freshwater can be found there. This vital ecosystem and the Indigenous peoples who have stewarded it for centuries face grave threats from deforestation, resource extraction, land grabs, and destructive development projects. The Amazon is facing a tipping point and won't be able to sustain itself as a rainforest if we remain on our current path of destruction.

To move to a turning point, Amazon Watch is carrying out campaigns in partnership with Indigenous peoples to secure Indigenous rights to ancestral territories, halt oil drilling and mining in the biome, and mobilize solidarity funds directly to Amazonian peoples at their request. Their work combines on-the-ground legal, advocacy, and communications expertise and long-term trusted partnerships with Indigenous peoples and organizations.

🌳Amazon Watch’s Amazon Defenders Fund (ADF) provides direct solidarity funding to Amazonian peoples and organizations free of bureaucratic barriers. The ADF supports Indigenous-led initiatives including community organizing, women’s leadership, communal economies, protection of Earth Defenders at risk for resisting destructive development, and crisis response including to wildfires and oil spills. The ADF is built upon a multi-decade track record as a trusted partner among Indigenous nations. You can learn more at amazonwatch.org/get-involved/amazon-defenders-fund.
