THE AMAZON –
AN ACUPUNCTURE POINT IN THE HEALING OF THE EARTH

Many believe, and is subject of debate, that there is a link between the safeguarding of the ancestral cultures, who have inhabited the Amazon as far back as 8.000 to 10,000 years ago, and the safeguarding of the Amazon’s resilient, but fragile ecosystems.

Whatever your opinion on the subject might be, what is certain is that the Amazon is a hotspot – an acupuncture point – in the great challenge we face: Slowing down global warming, and forestalling the catastrophic scenarios that threaten the future of our descendents and our own survival as a species.

It is also a certainty that the inhabitants of the ancestral forests play a key role in the safeguarding of the Amazon: Our management strategies or lack of them, our day-to-day practices, right here in the Amazon, will define the destiny of the largest tropical forest left in the world.

On this page, we showcase some organizations, which in some measure, each in its own way, are working to provide research and alternatives that will bring about a future that is respectful to the well being and survival of both: Our people and our forests.
