“Next month in Los Angeles, Amazon Frontlines will receive the 2024 Hilton Humanitarian Prize, the largest annual prize presented to a nonprofit for humanitarian work contributing to the solution of a major problem and doing something that people did not think could be done.” Dr. Peter Laugharn
“What we're seeing right now is that the Amazon could become the light of a dead star. We can see a sea of green—the satellites can see forest cover—but if we don't stop the deforestation, if we don't stop these threats, the Amazon can turn into a savannah, and that would mean not only the decimation of the livelihoods of indigenous communities but also it would trigger a tipping point that would make it very difficult for us to confront this climate crisis.” Mitch Anderson
“The nonprofit organization Amazon Frontlines has won critical victories for the preservation of the Amazon rainforest, pioneering a dynamic model that integrates Indigenous leadership with cutting-edge legal advocacy and communication strategy. The world is taking note, my dear friends.” Telma Ortiz
“We need to unite the community. With unity you can achieve. Without a movement that includes women you cannot achieve anything.” Nemonte Nenquimo
