In August 2016
Alberto Pizango was to be imprisoned for life, for leading a peaceful protest
that forced the government to
repeal the laws that
dangerously threatened his people’s clean water, air and land.
We defended him.
Alberto Pizango fought for us!
by protecting the rainforest ecosystem which regulates climate temperatures and holds 20% of the worlds oxygen and fresh water.
We fought for Alberto's freedom
to ensure that future leaders will protect nature with the
same strength
and determination.
A man who risked it all
to protect the global environmental balance
against the aggressive extraction of oil, minerals and gas
in the untouched Amazonian rainforest.
We had only days to apply all options to ensure the integrity
of the Peruvian court
finds Alberto innocent of the Bagua violence:
which he did not order,
had no control to stop, and which was infact provoked by Country President Alan Garcia,
Cabinet President
Yehude Simonrs and Minister of Interior
Mercedes Cabanillas
The issue is brilliantly profiled on the new film 'When Two Worlds Collide’
by Heidi Brandenburg, Mathew Orzel and producer Taira Akbar.

The movie is was on the theatrical screening circuit at the time,
however to preview the movie,
if you have ability to donate to
help develop a campaign to
defend Pizango, or if of influence
in Peru, we can provide you
a link for a private viewing.
Alberto Pizango is being scapegoated by the Peruvian government
and persecuted for violence which erupted when police attempted to end the protest by force at Devils Curve in Bagua, whilst Alberto was away negotiating in Lima.
Alberto Pizango
is one of the world's leading defenders of
the rainforest ecosystem.
We lobbied international power to defend a Leader of Peace
