‘Our land is not for sale’: Indigenous people protest at #COP30 in #Brazil
No #agribusiness, #oil exploration, illegal #miners or illegal #loggers the protesters say at UN climate summit in #Belem.
“We can’t eat money,” said #Nato
, an Indigenous leader from the #Tupinamba community, who uses only one name. “We want our lands free from agribusiness, oil exploration, illegal miners and illegal loggers.”
You've not missed our lovely Liz reviewing the nifty little loggers from BevArt, have you? 👀

#NemonteNenquimo, #Waorani, Protecting the #AmazonRainforest
By Water for Life, via #CensoredNews, Sept. 21, 2024
"Our friend Nemonte Nenquimo, a leader of the Waorani people of #Ecuador, telling stories from her memoir, 'We Will Be Jaguars.' The book, written with her husband Mitch Anderson, about the fight to protect the Amazon rainforest, is a must read. The conversation was masterfully guided by actor, author, teacher Peter Coyote.
"Nemonte and Mitch have more readings coming up in San Francisco and Corte Madera later this week. New York City is next week!"
From Meet Nemonte Nenquimo:
"Nemonte Nenquimo led an indigenous campaign and legal action that resulted in a court ruling protecting 500,000 acres of Amazonian rainforest and Waorani territory from oil extraction. Nenquimo’s leadership and the lawsuit set a legal precedent for indigenous rights in Ecuador, and other tribes are following in her footsteps to protect additional tracts of rainforest from oil extraction. Guardians of the Amazon Rainforest
Background from the publisher:
"Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest—one of the last to be contacted by missionaries in the 1950s—Nemonte Nenquimo had a singular upbringing.
"She was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders. At age fourteen, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city.
"Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture. She listened.
"Two decades later, Nemonte has emerged as one of the most forceful voices in #ClimateChange activism. She has spearheaded the alliance of indigenous nations across the Upper Amazon and led her people to a landmark victory against #BigOil, protecting over a half million acres of primary #rainforest. Her message is as sharp as a spear—honed by her experiences battling #loggers, #miners, #OilCompanies and #missionaries.
"In We Will Be Jaguars, she partners with her husband, Mitch Anderson, founder of #AmazonFrontlines, digging into generations of oral history, uprooting centuries of conquest, hacking away at racist notions of #IndigenousPeoples, and ultimately revealing a life story as rich, harsh, and vital as the Amazon rainforest herself."

At least two loggers have been killed with arrows, one injured, and two are missing after a clash with the “uncontacted” Mashco Piro people in the Peruvian Amazon. Indigenous activists are criticising the government for not officially recognising and protecting all of the isolated tribe’s land.

More than 50 members of an uncontacted #IndigenousTribe have been photographed on a riverbank in the remote #Peruvian #Amazon near an area where #logging companies have been granted concessions by the country's government.
The large group from the #MashcoPiro appeared in recent days near the southeastern village of #MonteSalvado, which belongs to the #Yine people. A smaller group of 17 appeared near a neighboring village.
The Yine, who speak a language related to that of the Mashco Piro, have previously reported that the #UncontactedTribe has been angry about the presence of #loggers on their land, according to the #IndigenousRights group #SurvivalInternational.
“This is irrefutable evidence that many Mashco Piro live in this area, which the government has not only failed to protect, but actually sold off to logging companies,” Alfredo Vargas Pio, president of the local Indigenous rights group #FENAMAD, said in a statement from Survival International.
