“Nature has life and feels pain just as we feel it when we are sick.”

— Anonymous, Cofán, Community president, Cofán, Ecuador

I add my voice to claim the rights of Nature. We kept this territory intact until now since our ancestors have left us this great inheritance. That the territory will never be seen as an economic resource for communities to develop. For this reason, companies or enterprises that think that a territory or a forest is an economic resource are very wrong. Nature is alive and feels pain just as we feel it when we are sick. For this reason, I add my voice to defend the rights of Nature.
