Dear friends, it sounds crazy, but this young mother from the Waorani Nation in Ecuador might just be key to saving the Amazon.
Ecuador’s government is set to sell millions of acres of pristine rainforest to Big Oil -- so Nemonte’s leading her people out of the forest to fight for their ancestral land.
She’s going toe-to-toe with the government in a landmark case that could stop the sale of her homeland and set a precedent for forest guardians across the Amazon.
And she’s asking for our urgent help.
