We believe that care for our Common Home, the Earth, is more vital than ever. Alongside partners such as Jesuit Pan-Amazon Service, we are committed to promoting reconciliation and ecological justice, particularly in places such as the Amazon rainforest. We are also invested in creating awareness on the responsibility we each share in adopting ecologically friendly habits.
Deforestation in the Amazon is a global issue that affects us all. The Amazon rainforest is vital to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and preventing millions of tons of carbon dioxide from entering the atmosphere. It houses most of the world's biodiversity. Without it, the natural balance is disturbed and we have less air to breathe. We share a responsibility to reflect and ensure that we are adopting eco-friendly habits within our communities.
Magis Americas has partnered with Jesuit Pan-Amazon Service since 2019, working together to highlight and promote the work being done by various actors in the Amazon region to protect the rights of indigenous peoples and communities, integrate ecological practices into education, and accompany communities and local churches in their pastoral and community development needs.
