For the past three years, Greenpeace has been investigating the cattle industry in Brazil. Not only is the cattle industry the chief source of CO2 emissions in Brazil and also responsible for 80% of deforestation in the Amazon, it is also the largest single driver of deforestation anywhere in the world.

Our investigation exposed the Brazilian government's complicity in bankrolling the companies responsible for deforestation in the Amazon, as well as several top name shoe brands such as Adidas, Nike, Reebok, and Timberland whose demand for leather may be supporting cattle ranchers that are illegally slaughtering the Amazon.

Write to these shoemakers now and tell them to protect the Amazon and the climate:
