Show Notes
The Ecuadorian government is currently planning to auction off 8.7 million acres of the Amazon rainforest to oil interests.
What is at stake — for the Indigenous communities of the Amazon, for people outside of the Amazon, and for the planet — with millions of acres of lively, intact rainforest being put on the line?
What can we learn from how the Waorani people won their historic legal victory in 2019 to protect 500,000 acres of rainforest from oil drilling? And how do we go about building solidarity across communities and borders, and between Indigenous peoples and non-Indigenous allies?
Today, Green Dreamer’s host, Kaméa, speaks with Mitch Anderson, who is, alongside Nemonte Nenquimo, the co-founder of Amazon Frontlines and co-author of We Will Be Jaguars.
Join us as we question economic incentives that narrow-mindedly privilege monetary currencies above other currencies of Life, re-examine the concepts of “convenience” and “remoteness,” and more.
