Biodiversity led by the Ecuadorian indigenous, supported and benefited by all
Protecting biodiversity in our ecosystems and our cultures should be paramount for everyone.
Working with official Ecuadorian institutions and entities, we hope to regenerate degraded land in the Amazon rainforest, prevent harmful pursuits of natural resources, and build a self-sustaining exchange of ideas and skills between the indigenous and the non-indigenous.
“At first I thought I was fighting to save rubber trees, then I thought I was fighting to save the Amazon rainforest. Now I realize I am fighting for humanity.”
