“It is fascinating to see how they are trying to preserve their land. I think there are lots of lessons and experiences to be learned from this – like living with nature. It would be a shame if that knowledge were to be lost.”

More InformationEpisode 3: Meeting Raoni
“We have been having a quite eventful day…spending time on the river to get from one village to the next. It´s been really inspiring to see how friendly and welcoming the villagers were to us.“
In October 2024, I had the honour of travelling with @greenpeacebrasil into the home region of the Kayapó people. Through this experience, I learnt more about the destruction of their land and the devastating consequences of deforestation:
• Forests destroyed
• Rivers polluted and poisoned
• Indigenous territories invaded
• Violence against Indigenous people
• Threat of disease
• Lives lost and traditions endangered
These are just some of the dangers posed by illegal mining in the Amazon. Destructive miners continue to invade Indigenous lands, leaving devastation and death in their wake — and accelerating climate change.
“We all breathe one only air, we all drink one only water, we all live on one only earth. We must protect it.” — Chief Raoni Metuktire

Respeitem a Amazônia
Em outubro de 2024, tive a honra de viajar com o @greenpeacebrasil para a região onde vive o povo Kayapó. Por meio dessa experiência, aprendi mais sobre a destruição de suas terras e as consequências devastadoras do desmatamento:
• Florestas destruídas
• Rios poluídos e envenenados
• Territórios indígenas invadidos
• Violência contra os povos indígenas
• Ameaça de doenças
• Vidas perdidas e tradições ameaçadas
Esses são apenas alguns dos perigos apresentados pelo garimpo na Amazônia. Garimpeiros continuam a invadir terras indígenas, deixando devastação e morte em seu rastro — e acelerando as mudanças climáticas.
“Todos nós respiramos um só ar, todos nós bebemos uma só água, todos nós vivemos em uma só Terra. Devemos protegê-la.” — Cacique Raoni Metuktire
