ALLIANCE OF MOTHER NATURE’S GUARDIANS « I am very concerned about the death of our forests. It is a direct threat to our communities and the future of our grandchildren. If they go on destroying the forest, if they go on destroying nature, the whole of Mankind is put at very serious risk.

This is why I want to tell each one of you, my indigenous brothers all over the world, that we must gather in order to be united. It is the only way to protect our rights, our lands, our forests, our mother nature, our rivers, everything the invaders are destroying.

Through this Alliance, we are weaving a bond which leads me to hope that there will be more of us day after day to open our hearts to Mother Nature, without whom any life is impossible.

Love and respect to each one of you. »
