"If you are coming to help us, you are wasting your time. But if you are coming because you know your liberation is bound up with ours, then let us work together." ~Indigenous Elders

In 1995, the Achuar people, living in the Amazon rain forests of Ecuador, sent out a call to people in the "modern" world to join forces to preserve their land and culture. Today, the Pachamama Alliance works to protect tens of millions of rain forest in Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia and Brazil.
