From Amazonia to the concrete jungle of #NYC! Waorani leader, @goldmanprize winner & Co-founder of @amazonfrontlines & @alianzaceibo @nemonte.nenquimo is in New York for Climate Week to raise her voice on #IndigenousRights, Amazon rainforest protection and real solutions to the climate crisis. ‘This week, there will be plenty of talk on the “bold pledges” and “ambitious commitments” made by world leaders, industry chiefs, and NGOs about how to avert climate disaster’, says @nemonte.nenquimo. ‘But the greatest challenge ahead of us - if we are to be successful on climate action - is not about technology or policy, but about values, knowledge and wisdom.’ 🌿Although Indigenous peoples represent only 5% of the world population, they are the guardians of 80% of our earth’s biodiversity. It is no coincidence that 87.5% of all deforestation across the Amazon basin occurs outside of their ancestral territories!
