NEMONTE’S MESSAGE TO THE WESTERN WORLD

As part of this year’s TED Climate Countdown Series, Time 100 honoree, Goldman Prize winner, and Amazon Frontlines’ co-founder Nemonte Nenquimo has an urgent message for the world, and it’s one we need to hear.

“All I ask is for your respect. Mother Earth is waiting for us to respect her. Mother Earth is not waiting for us to save her. And we as Indigenous peoples expect the same.”

“All I ask is for your respect. Mother Earth is waiting for us to respect her. Mother Earth is not waiting for us to save her. And we as Indigenous peoples expect the same.”

And make sure to send Nemonte’s message directly to the presidents of 5 major Amazonian countries! Bolsonaro, Lasso, Duque, Arce and Castillo need to hear loud and clear that the Amazon and Indigenous life is not for sale!
