Hold The Line
The Amazon rainforest, home to the most diverse plants and wildlife in the world, faces an urgent threat from industrial-scale agriculture and illegal gold mining. Scientists warn at this pace, the Amazon may soon be reaching a tipping point.
Communities across the Amazon—in the forest and in cities—are standing on the frontlines, pushing back these destroyers. We can stand with them. This November at COP30, political leaders, surrounded by corporate lobbyists, will meet in the heart of the Brazilian Amazon, to decide the future of the planet. The message they need to know is clear: Respect the Amazon.
"Our collaboration with Greenpeace draws on the power of art and activism to drive positive change. Not many people know Big Agriculture is the New Big Oil. JBS is the world’s biggest industrial meat producer, land-grabber and driver of Amazon deforestation for profit. Now is the time to unite and hold the line for the Amazon."

Stop Big Ag
1.5 million hectares. That’s the scale of deforestation tied to JBS’s cattle supply chain, according to investigations by Repórter Brasil and Greenpeace Brazil.
These aren’t isolated cases. This is the business model.
As of 2023, JBS-linked farms cleared 60,000+ hectares even after being flagged for illegal deforestation, according to Mighty Earth.
Big Ag is the new Big Oil.
