The real risk isn’t only external. It’s perceptual. Once outsiders frame Indigenous lands as “unused” or “available”... the floodgates open. Extraction begins with narratives.
Perception is protection. 🌿

Quote reads “It is up to Brazil, which will host COP30 in November, to take responsibility for presenting more ambitious proposals for the progressive phase-out of fossil fuels and for the creation of exclusion zones for extractive activities, in alignment with the unified demand of Indigenous Peoples and civil society, presented during the Presidential Summit. The future of the forest, its peoples, and the planet depends on the decisions we make now." Quote attribution to Gisela Hurtado, Senior Amazonía Campaigner, Stand.earth”
