Call on banks to stop fueling Amazon destruction
July 31, 2023

Our new banking database, Capitalizing on Collapse shows that eight banks JPMorgan Chase, Citibank, Itaú Unibanco, HSBC, Banco Santander, Bank of America, Banco Bradesco, and Goldman Sachs provided over $11 billion USD (of the $20B) in financing to Amazon oil and gas activities from 2009–2023.
Amazonia is the last place oil and gas extraction should be happening. Forest destruction caused by industrial activities has already forced the Amazonian biome to a tipping point. Indigenous Peoples of Amazonia have put out an urgent call to protect 80% of the region by 2025 to save this key biodiversity hub – which means banks must stop any and all financing of Amazon oil and gas.
We got the numbers, we got the data, now we need a groundswell of pressure on banks to exit Amazon oil and gas. Will you add your name and urge banks to stop capitalizing on the collapse of Amazonia?
