When a local, four-person NGO helped expose the destruction, the timber giant slapped them with a $1.8 million lawsuit to silence them! We know it won’t end there. The family that owns this company is worth $400 million – and has a history of using legal bullying to shut down forest defenders to protect its profits. But if 5,000 of us chip in $1, we can give this small but mighty NGO the money they need to fight back and win. Their trial date is quickly approaching – can you chip in {NAME}? [Chip in $1]( in another amount]( This timber giant doesn’t even need to win this case in court to win. It just needs to bankrupt the SAVE Rivers NGO with an expensive lawsuit to shut down the campaign. That’s enough to continue its unpermitted logging operations. But letting that happen would set a dangerous precedent against Indigenous rights, and be disastrous for the many endangered and vulnerable animals whose habitats continue to be wiped out by huge logging companies and palm oil plantations. That’s why we need your help. Lawsuits like this can drag on, but together we can give SAVE Rivers a fighting chance to beat this lawsuit. Can you chip in $1 to help these forest defenders fight back – and end this logging nightmare? [Chip in $1]( in another amount]( When the world's second biggest gold mining corporation went after Maxima, an Indigenous Peruvian farmer defending her land, our community chipped in to help her fight back in court – and the mine hasn't been built. Maxima won every single time. So let’s help four more people defeat another corporate giant at their own game!
