Dear friends,

Following years of intense pressure from the agribusiness sector, Brazil's parliament approved sweeping changes to the country's forest protection law yesterday that spell destruction for the Amazon rainforest.

President Dilma has two weeks now to veto this hatchet job before it becomes the law. All eyes are on her now.

Please write to President Dilma here and forward this email to your friends and family to get involved too.

The changes to the Forest Code voted on Wednesday evening severely weaken protections for the Amazon rainforest and open up vast areas to destruction, which would contribute to carbon emissions and climate change. It leaves forest communities and Amazon wildlife even more at risk from the very interests which have already destroyed 18 percent of the Amazon rainforest.

Click here and tell Dilma: save the Amazon, veto the new Forest Code

Counting on you,

P.S. You can read more about the forest code in our blog. And if you have written to President Dilma already about this (thank you!), please spread the word now with this email, or by sharing the links on Facebook, Twitter and Google+.
