| Description | Our Strategies and Programs:In the Amazon region of Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, Amazon Watch is working directly with indigenous communities to build local capacity and advance the long-term protection of their lands. In partnership with communities, non-governmental organizations, concerned shareholders and citizens, we utilize the following strategies:Campaign to persuade decision-makers in corporations, international financial institutions and governments to honor the rights of indigenous peoples over "development" decisions in their territories and to rectify past harms, for example in areas devastated by past and current oil drilling. Through media exposure, legal action and shareholder campaigns we promote corporate social and environmental accountability.Strengthen capacity in indigenous communities and partner organizations in the Amazon to better advocate for own their rights at local, national and international forums. Through training in legal rights, advocacy, media and technology as well as the donation of equipment, we help our indigenous partners protect their rainforest homelands, assert their collective voice and advance their rights.Seek permanent protection for threatened areas and vulnerable indigenous populations in the Amazon rainforest. In partnership with ally organizations in South America, we champion ecologically sound alternatives and solutions to industrial and fossil-fuel intensive economic development.Educate corporate executives, shareholders, public officials and the general public using media coverage, websites, publications and documentary films. By building awareness and promoting green economic alternatives to the current export-oriented development model, we are helping to bring about a shift within key institutions and society. | Description |

| Explanation | Amazon Watch is exempt from income taxation under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. The Internal Revenue Service has determined Amazon Watch is not a private foundation under Section 509(a)(2). Generally accepted accounting principles provide accounting and disclosure guidance about positions taken by an Organization in its tax returns that might be uncertain. Management has considered its tax positions and believes that all of the positions taken by the Organization in their federal and state exempt Agency tax returns are more likely than not to be sustained upon examination. Amazon Watch's evaluation on December 31, 2011 revealed no tax positions that would have a material impact on the financial statements. Amazon Watch does not believe that any reasonably possible changes will occur within the next twelve months that will have a material impact on the financial statements. | Explanation |
