Reverence
There is a remarkable open letter to the Presidents of the nine Amazonian countries, written by Nemonte Nenquimo, a leader of the Waorani people who live in the Amazon rainforest. The letter reveals the deeply sustainable worldviews of Indigenous communities. She reflects on the “thousands and thousands of years of love for this forest … Love in the deepest sense, as reverence. This forest has taught us how to walk lightly, and because we have listened, learned and defended her, she has given us everything: water, clean air, nourishment, shelter, medicines, happiness, meaning.” `Now we should listen and learn.
