The Amazon’s peoples and representative organizations, threatened by the ongoing pandemic, are calling upon supporters across the world to join their fight to protect the Amazonian territories from this crisis. The virtual gathering, “The Jungle Screams: Voices of the Amazon,” analyzed and built proposals to fight COVID-19, climate change, patriarchy, gender-based violence, and political systems that hijack democracy. This event was open to participation.

The Jungle Screams was part of the Amazon’s Global Assembly, and saw the participation of representatives of the Coordinating Body for the Indigenous Peoples Organizations of the Amazon Basin (COICA), The Ecclesial Panamazonian Network (REPAM) and the Panamazonian Social Forum; next to activist, Scientifics and allies from the Global North and South.
