Dear
friends from Avaaz, |
|
I
am Sonia Guajajara, a warrior of the Guajajara
people of the Brazilian Amazon, and the
first-ever Minister of Indigenous Peoples of
Brazil.
Today Indigenous leaders from
around the world are at the United Nations to
deliver an urgent call to save the
Amazon and commit to zero deforestation. We need
your help to make this
louder!!
Here is part of what I
said: | |
|
“Human
greed is pushing the Amazon towards a dangerous
point of no return. We live in an economic
system where everything that is in nature can be
privatized or purchased. This unrestrained
exploitation of the common goods of nature does
not generate wealth, but wears down and
impoverishes the planet. It is time to fight for
the good of humanity and for a new story. A
story where indigenous peoples lead... because
we know the way.”

For
the past few years, you and the rest of the
Avaaz community have been key allies of
Indigenous peoples, from the Amazon to the Congo
basin, and around the world. And together, I
have every hope that we will achieve a future
where our rights will be respected, and our
planet will be safe.
With hope and
determination, and love for the
planet,
Sonia Guajajara, Minister of
Indigenous Peoples of Brazil, together with the
Avaaz team
