Frederic Gruet🌍 Pourquoi parler de Nemonte Nenquimo ? Parce que défendre la biodiversité passe par la protection des peuples autochtones, comme l’a rappelé la dernière COP. Nemonte, leader Waorani, a remporté en 2019 une victoire historique contre l’exploitation pétrolière en Amazonie. Son combat est un exemple crucial de la manière dont les droits des peuples autochtones et la préservation de la nature sont indissociables. 🌱✨ <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Biodiversit%C3%A9" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Biodiversité</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/PeuplesAutochtones" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#PeuplesAutochtones</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NemonteNenquimo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#NemonteNenquimo</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/COP16" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#COP16</a>© PNUMA

But the newly elected president, Daniel Noboa, has said Ecuador is at war with gang violence and that the country is 'not in the same situation as two years ago.' Noboa has said oil from the Yasuní National Park could help fund that war against drug cartels. Environmental activists and Indigenous peoples say they’re concerned about his comments because their victory had been hailed as an example of how to use the democratic process to leave fossil fuels in the ground. 'Amazonian women are at the frontlines of defense,' says Nemonte Nenquimo, an award-winning Waorani leader in the Ecuadorian Amazon who co-founded Amazon Frontlines and the Ceibo Alliance. Her recent piece for The Guardian is headlined 'Ecuador’s president won’t give up on oil drilling in the Amazon. We plan to stop him — again.' Nemonte has just published her new memoir titled We Will Be Jaguars: A Memoir of My People. We also speak with her co-author and partner, Mitch Anderson, who is the founder and executive director of Amazon Frontlines and has long worked with Indigenous nations in the Amazon to defend their rights."Watch / listen / read transcript: <a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2024/11/29/indigenous_leader_nemonte_nenquimo_on_fight" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.democracynow.org/2024/11/29/indigenous_leader_nemonte_nenquimo_on_fight</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ViewerSupportedNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ViewerSupportedNews</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmazonRiverBasin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmazonRiverBasin</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WaterIsLife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WaterIsLife</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LandDefenders" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LandDefenders</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Yasun%C3%AD" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Yasuní</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Waorani" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Waorani</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndigenousPeople" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IndigenousPeople</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Yasun%C3%ADNationalPark" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#YasuníNationalPark</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EnvironmentalActivists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#EnvironmentalActivists</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WeWillBeJaguars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#WeWillBeJaguars</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BigOil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BigOil</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CorporateColonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CorporateColonialism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmazonFrontlines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AmazonFrontlines</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CeiboAlliance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#CeiboAlliance</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Biodiversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Biodiversity</a>

Guardians of the Amazon RainforestBackground from the publisher:"Born into the Waorani tribe of Ecuador’s Amazon rainforest—one of the last to be contacted by missionaries in the 1950s—Nemonte Nenquimo had a singular upbringing."She was taught about plant medicines, foraging, oral storytelling, and shamanism by her elders. At age fourteen, she left the forest for the first time to study with an evangelical missionary group in the city. "Eventually, her ancestors began appearing in her dreams, pleading with her to return and embrace her own culture.
