“Nature is asking for help. Nature. Mother Nature. She's asking for help. Because we live within her.” – Orlando, Community Member, Kokama, Brazil

Good day, my name is Orlando I am a resident of the Kokama indigenous village, with roots in Ayahuasca. In the municipality of Santo Antônio do Içá, Alto Solimões. Today, I came to talk about Nature. Nature is asking for help, because we are not taking good care of her. She's asking for help. It’s not just from here in Alto Solimões, no. Nature, Mother Nature, asks for this help, because we live here in her. We, as Indigenous people, village leaders, defend Nature. We preserve the streams, the rivers, the fauna, the flora. Right now, here in the Amazon, this is the lungs of the world. So, we are defenders of the Amazon, defenders of Nature. Okay. Thank you very much.
